Abstract
In this paper, the optimal design method for the electromagnetic actuator using the electromagnetic field analysis simulator and the metaheuristics optimization is proposed. The proposed method has two routes for a case of heavy simulator load and a case of light simulator load. In the case with a heavy simulator load, Integrated Optimization that combines modeling and the metaheuristics optimization to obtain the solution in practicable time is used. The developed method is applied to the optimal design of the magnetic pole shapes of electromagnetic actuator in the case of a heavy simulator load and the case of a light simulator load, and the usefulness and the practicality of the developed approach is verified.
