Abstract
The paper introduces the concept of an interactive evolutionary conceptual design system which supports iterative designer/evolutionary search processes. Evolutionary search is seen as a means of collating high-quality engineering design information as opposed to providing a standard optimisation capability. The intention is to capture designer knowledge through designer-led, on-line design space change based upon information generated by and extracted from relatively continuous co-evolutionary search processes.
