The domain of mechatronic systems includes mixtures of, for example, electrical, mechanical, hydraulic, pneumatic, and thermal components, making it difficult to design a system to meet specified performance goals with a single design tool. The multi-domain design approach is not only efficient for mixed- domain problems, but is also useful for addressing separate single-domain design problems with a single tool. Bond graphs are domain independent, allow free composition, and are efficient for classification and analysis of models, allowing rapid determination of various types of acceptability or feasibility of candidate designs. This can sharply reduce the time needed for analysis of designs that are infeasible or otherwise unattractive. Genetic programming is well recognized as a powerful tool for open-ended search. The combination of these two powerful methods is therefore an appropriate target for a better system for synthesis of complex multi-domain systems. The approach described here will evolve new designs (re
