In the practical engineering applications of multi-body floating wave energy converter (WEC), the traditional geometric optimization is always expensive and time-consuming. This study aim to propose a more efficient geometry optimization strategy with a hinged double-body floating WEC as the study object. The influences of geometric parameters of the buoys on the pitching motion and energy conversion ability are analyzed by numerical simulation. Simulation results show that the resonance state of the pitching motion of the buoys mainly depends on their radius and draft rather than the length; But the length of the buoys, rather than the radius and draft, always has a significant effect on the pitching phase difference of the adjacent buoys. Based on the motion analysis and resonance response, an efficient multi-factor geometry optimization strategy is put forwarded. By the strategy, the sub-optimal and optimal geometrical parameters are solved out quickly at several typical wave conditions of China Seas. The results indicate that the optimal total length of WEC is approximately equal to the wave length. The optimal diameter of buoys is about 25% of the length of buoys. And the optimal draft should attain about 61% of the diameter.
