Coupled Mechanical and Electromagnetic Optimization of High Speed Rotors

Optimizing mechatronic systems is of increasing importance, for example, to minimize the consumption of resources and energy during operation and production. The optimization objectives for rotordynamic systems are, for instance, critical resonances, durability and costs. In order to meet such objectives, good optimization algorithms as well as simulation tools for each physically relevant effect for the problem are required. In this paper, we present the coupling of the optimization software MagOpt and the mechatronic simulation tool HOTINT and an application of the system.
