The method is stochastic and combines a genetic algorithm (GA) and FEM (finite element method) model generated with the commercial software FEMM. The optimization is performed in order to respect the load curve and speed references during opening and closing of the actuator.Electromagnetic actuatorsFinite element analysisGenetic algorithmsStochastic processestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
