...Zakaria Houta; Frederic Messine; Thomas Huguet Purpose The purpose of this paper is to present a new approach to optimizing the design of 3D magnetic circuits. This approach is based on topology optimization, where derivative calculations are performed using the continuous adjoint method. Thus...

... the solid isotropic material with penalization method to favor binary solutions. By means of the adjoint method, this paper provides the derivatives of the objective and constraint functions with respect to material distribution and current density variables. Findings The TO-based design methodology...
