Abstract
A new technique for the design optimization of electromagnetic devices that adopts the Genetic Algorithms (GAs) as the search method is pres ented. The method is applied to the optimization of the shape of a pol e face in an electric motor. The electromagnetic analysis of the devic es implemented is performed using 2-D finite elements. The results sho w an excellent promise and potential of using GAs as an efficient tech nique for the optimal design problem.
