Abstract
Computer-aided design is becoming a reality today through the significant development of computing tools. These calculation codes are often intended for an advanced project design phase. On the other hand, there are very few tools for early design assistance or pre-project design. Therefore, in this research, a methodology is proposed for solving the problem of the global design of a simple metal structure based on the genetic algorithms approach using Matlab. A comparative study is made on a 2D metal gantry using the profiles available in the Algerian market, namely IPE—IPN and HEA—HEB so as to have an optimal dimensioning in the inelastic field.
