Using genetic algorithm the optimization of number of input variables of artificial neural networks has been done. As an input parameters for training artificial neural networks following parameters has been used: surface parameters of the sheet and dies, sheet material parameters and clamping force. Some results have pointed out that genetic algorithm has been successfully appled to optimization of training set. ER
