SYSTEM FOR COMPUTER AIDED DESIGN AND OPTIMIZATION OF ELECTROMAGNETIC ACTUATORS

System contains units which are the tools for the actuators designs, optimization and steady‐states or transients simulation. Design and optimization process has been based on the equivalent circuit model with “field” procedures for concentrated circuit parameters calculation. For the optimization the penalty function method combined with the conjugate gradients method has been adopted. In the steady‐states simulation, the entirely 2D or 3D field formulation has been employed. Whereas in transients, it is assumed that the field is produced under the time‐varying voltage constraints, so the combined field‐circuit formulation has been applied.
