Shape optimization of a fractional horse-power De-motor by stochastic methods K. Hameyer", M. Kasper* "Institut fur Elektrische Maschinen ^Forschungsschwerpunkt Mikroperipherik Technische Universitdt Berlin, Germany ABSTRACT Automated Optimal Design (AOD) of electromagnetic devices turns out to be a task of increasing significance in the field of electrical engineering. Recent developments offer the opportunity to attack realistic problems of technical importance. The distinctive feature of this type of problem is its complexity which results from a high number of design parameters, a com- plicated dependence on the quality of design parameters and various cons- traints. Often the direct relation of desired quality of the technical product on the objective variables is unknown. Stochastic optimization methods in combination with general numerical field computation techniques like the finite element method (FEM) offer the most universal approach in AOD. The paper discusses
