Optimization of magnetic devices using surface current method (SCM)

In this paper, application of the surface current method (SCM) for analyzing and optimization of electromechanical devices is proposed. SCM is one of the numerical techniques in electromagnetic field analysis. In SCM only magnetic boundaries are subdivided against Finite Element Method (FEM) which is subdivided all of domain therefore the calculation resource of SCM is much lesser than FEM. SCM with low calculation resource is one of the best numerical techniques for magnetic devices optimization. In this paper, using SCM three electromechanical systems have been optimized based on minimization of weight per force. Verification of simulation results is done by FEM.
