Combining genetic programming with generic simulation models in evolutionary synthesis

In the proposed combined model of the engineering synthesis, the simulation and the parametric design are organized by the genetic building elements, while the genetic possibilities are evaluated by the experiences, obtained from the detailed dynamic simulation. Using this methodology, a new, integrated toolkit can de developed for the creative problem solving in (chemical) process engineering. The combination of the structural modeling with the genetic programming suggests a possible theoretical framework and proposes a practical methodology for the solution of the various synthesis (design, planning, scheduling, …) problems.
