  ABSTRACT: An optimization design was conducted for the shape of the pressure vessel with a thin-shell shell. During this process, the optimization calculation was performed with the aid of the genetic algorithm toolbox included in Matlab. Firstly, through the parametric modeling function of APDL, models such as arc-shaped, parabolic, elliptical, and those generated by the fitting curve command were successfully constructed. Meanwhile, the relevant settings of material properties were accomplished, and the static analysis was conducted. Secondly, the optimization calculation process was initiated using the genetic algorithm toolbox in Matlab. Eventually, through analysis and judgment, the model generated by the fitting curve command was relatively superior within the category of the best shape.
