Abstract

Genetic algorithms (GAs) can be viewed as random searching algorithm that based on the ideas of natural evolution. It is quite suitable for the complicated non-structural problems, for it has some properties such as self-adaptability, parallelity, evaluation-based, probability and multi-solution. Its principle is similar to human designers’ behavior, a trial-and-error process guided by the evaluation regarding the goal: product optimization schemes. The paper analyzes the comparability between product optimization design and GAs, and proposes a technical method with its algorithm structures based on GAs. The codified representation, evaluation function and optimize searching of product design was basically realized based on GAs.
