### build
<Function id="qiskit.opflow.evolutions.EvolutionFactory.build" signature="build(operator=None)" modifiers="static">
A factory method for convenient automatic selection of an Evolution algorithm based on the Operator to be converted.
**Parameters**
**operator** (`Optional`\[`OperatorBase`]) the Operator being evolved
**Returns**
the `EvolutionBase` best suited to evolve operator.
**Return type**
[EvolutionBase](qiskit.aqua.operators.evolutions.EvolutionBase "qiskit.aqua.operators.evolutions.EvolutionBase")
**Raises**
**ValueError** If operator is not of a composition for which we know the best Evolution method.
