Abstract The paper describes a belt design package which works from within a commercial Computer Aided Design and Drafting package (AutoCAD) environment and utilizes FORTRAN programs for design and selection of lowest weight components for the drive system. The components used in the process are available as stock items in U.S.A. The relevant information on these products is stored in commercial database management systems such as EXCEL and LOTUS 1-2-3. Output from the package consists of scaled drawing and tabular specifications.

For computer-aided design solutions search, a computational tool, which will substantially facilitate designer’s work, has been developed. Structural optimization method – genetic algorithm method is taken as a basis. To accelerate design solutions synthesis, computer-aided design system in the form of a developed computational tool is used. It automatically synthesizes a significant number of design solutions using formalized conditions of strength facility requirements. Then, user compares the solutions upon performance criterion and selects the best options. The article demonstrates possibility of genetic algorithm application for obtaining design solutions through the example of a structural coating plate. The advantage of this method is obviousness in solutions search, visualization of proposed structures and user’s work with the system in dialog mode.
