This research is the first attempt in the literature to combine design for additive manufacturing and hybrid flood algorithms for the optimal design of battery holders of an electric vehicle. This article uses a recent metaheuristic to explore the optimization of a battery holder for an electric vehicle. A polylactic acid (PLA) material is preferred during the design of the holder for additive manufacturing. Specifically, both a hybrid flood algorithm (FLA-SA) and a water wave optimizer (WWO) are utilized to generate an optimal design for the holder. The flood algorithm is hybridized with a simulated annealing algorithm. An artificial neural network is employed to acquire a meta-model, enhancing optimization efficiency. The results underscore the robustness of the hybrid flood algorithm in achieving optimal designs for electric car components, suggesting its potential applicability in various product development processes.
