The optimization is performed using a genetic optimization tool combined with a FEM commercial software. The new contributions of the paper are: (i) introduction of three operating modes for which the motor is optimized with a reduced number of FEM simulations and (ii) new approach to simultaneously maximize the energetic efficiency, minimize the cogging and respect the thermal constraint.Brushless DC motorsGenetic algorithmsMotorcyclestext::conference output::conference proceedings::conference paper
