Abstract :
The need for software tools to help the designer achieve the optimal electromagnetic design is discussed. A review of optimisation and experimental design methods is followed by specification of the attributes necessary in the electromagnetic design software to successfully link with such methods. EPOCH, a practical optimal electromagnetic design environment, is described and some results obtained for an eddy current brake are presented
