Generative Design and Simulation for Castor Wheel Assembly
Abstract: A castor wheel CAD model can be used to optimise the wheel's design for avariety of elements, including load capacity, durability, and use. Given theemployment of evolutionary algorithms and search strategies in thiscomputational process, generative design, also known as evolutionary design,is not a new idea. It can be characterised as a prototype design system thatcreates fresh conceptual designs from scratch using a genetic algorithm. In thismethod, a prototype system generates …
