Overview
MAGNET Design Optimisation is an automated design optimisation option to MAGNET, MAGNET Electric, and when either or both are coupled to Thermal. Using advanced and efficient algorithms, MAGNET Design Optimisation can find optimal values for different design variables within the constraints specified.
MAGNET Design Optimisation 's useful features include:
MAGNET Design Optimisation 's useful features include:
- Continuous-value and discrete-value variables and optimisation
- Evolutionary-based Stochastic search is very efficient, even for a large number of parameters
- Built-in and customizable scripts for objective functions and constraints
- Evaluate the impact of variations in the design parameters.
MAGNET Design Optimisation offers an integrated Automated Optimal Design environment compatible with the industrial design process by meeting the following requirements:
- RobustIndependent of the number of design variables, problem type and objective
- Global Search OrientedIdentifies the global minimum of an objective function
- Derivative-FreeMAGNET Design Optimisation avoids errors by using proper functions and not their derivatives
- FastHighest possible efficiency with freedom to choose between accuracy and computing time
Our Features
We work hard every day to make life of our clients better and happier
- Design Variables
- Typically performance requirements, component & physical limitations and production-based limitations amongst other factors
- Parameters from models in MAGNET, MAGNET Electric or MAGNET Thermal are identified as design variables by MAGNET Design Optimisation
- Design variables are one of four types
- Constant
- Continuous
- Discrete step
- Discrete list of values
- with improved results.
- Constraints
- Weighted constraints including absolute type which must be satisfied
- Model-based and Solution-based constraints
- Common constraint types are pre-defined
- User-defined constraints supported.
- Optimisation Objective
Optimisation Objective
- Supports weighted multiple objectives for a design problem
