Abstract :
The chosen shape representation defines the subset of the shape space that the Genetic Algorithm can search. If the fitness function can not correctly evaluate all parts of the shape space then we must ensure that the shape representation only defines that subset which can be correctly evaluated. This paper details a parametric description which was used after earlier less restrictive shape representations produced totally impractical designs
