Two Levels Modeling for the Optimization of Electromagnetic Actuators

In this paper, a two-stage modelling, to ensure a good and fast optimization procedure for microdevices, is presented. This methodology is supported by three noncommercial software. The first one is dedicated to analytical modelling of non ferromagnetic electromagnetic devices, the second one is dedicated to numerical modelling of electromagnetic devices, and the last is dedicated to constrained-based optimization. Issues and solutions of such a methodology are highlighted, and illustrated by designing a matrix of actuators for an adaptive optic.
