POLOPT/ Optim: Module for Free-Form Optimization
Direct Optimization
Case study 2: Optimization of exterior connecting parts in three-phase circuit breaker
- Optimization of exterior connecting parts in three-phase circuit breaker
- Through an automatic optimization procedure the shape of the most critical parts is changed to provide the minimal field strength
- The animation illustrates the generation of the optimal form of the connecting parts through an iterative optimization algorithm used in POLOPT/Optim
- The field reduction at the most critical position is higher than 40%
