Abstract A bionic hierarchy generative design algorithm inspired by the leaf vein growth process is presented for the layout design of heat conduction channels. The design domain is discretized based on the element-free Galerkin (EFG) method. The generations of main channels and lateral channels are separated. The effectiveness of the developed bionic hierarchy generative design approach is investigated based on the general “volume-to-point” heat conduction problem.
