Three-dimensional shape optimization of claw-pole motors

This paper presents three-dimensional shape optimization of claw-pole motors. The claw-pole shape is determined from the binary state of hexahedral cells. The cell states are optimized to maximize induced voltage and minimize the field current using micro-genetic algorithm. The optimization is successfully carried out without time-consuming mesh generation.
