Title:Optimization of Mechatronic Components with MagOptAuthor(s):Siegfried Silber, Gerd Bramerdorfer, Gerald Jungmayr, Alexander Humer, Werner Koppelstätter, Simon Weitzhofer, Günther WeidenholzerAbstract:Optimizing mechatronic components is of increasing importance, e.g., to minimize energy consumption and to reduce rare and critical materials. To address this issue, the dedicated simulation and optimization tool MagOpt has been developed. MagOpt is a modular tool with a flexible structure for the management and storage of complex simulation data. It features an open and modular interface to existing third party programs like CAD systems, finite element programs and other simulation software. Parametric design optimization can be carried out using different optimization technologies like gradient-based methods or multi-objective evolutionary or genetic algorithms.Booktitle:SCEE, 11th International Conference on Scientific Computing in Electrical Engineering, St. Wolfgang, AustriaPage Reference:12 page(s)Publishing:10/2016
