Abstract: Aiming at solving the problems of large land occupation and single function of the traditional swimming pool, the technology of the moveable platform was applied to the design of the swimming pool. A new type of swimming pool the height of which is adjustable was raised. The swimming pool has many functions, such as diving, health recovery, competition and so on. After the analysis of the maximum equivalent stress, total deformation and total mass of the steel structure, the relationship between the section size of the rectangular tube and parameters above was established. The method of CAD/CAE collaborative design was presented to the design of the steel structure. The three dimensional model of the steel structure for the moveable platform was built by the software SolidWorks and the model was imported to the software ANSYS Workbench by the format of Parasolid. The parameter sensitivity and input parameter response were evaluated on the software platform of ANSYS Workbench. The method of goal driven optimization(GDO) was applied to the optimal design of the steel structure. The results indicate that when the section size of the rectangular tube is 30 mm×30 mm×4.5 mm the steel structure is the best.
