Adjoint-Based Design of 3D Magnetic Circuits with Nonlinear Materials: Application of the Magnetic Moment Method
This article aims to present a topology optimization method based on volume integral equations and gradient computation using the adjoint method. The approach was developed for designing three-dimensional magnetic circuits involving nonlinear ferromagnetic materials. A detailed formulation of the method is provided, and numerical results for simple designs are presented.
