Abstract:
In this talk, I will present topological optimization in a fairly general way: interests and difficulties. Then I will talk about adjoint methods in electromagnetism for efficient derivative calculations. This so-called adjoint method has been introduced into mechanics and has produced efficient results for structural designs. I will then show how these methods can be transposed to magnetostatic in order to design satellite plasma thrusters and electrical machines.
In a third and final section, I will present some numerical results in 3D magnetostatics for the design of simple circuits including mechanical constraints.
