Shape Optimization with Adaptive Simulated Annealing and Genetic Algorithms

  • Chapter

Abstract

Stochastic methods offer a certain robustness quality to the optimization process. In this paper, the Adaptive Simulated Annealing (ASA) and two Genetic Algorithms (GA) are used for the shape optimization of a shimming magnet pole. The magnetic field is computed using the finite element method in 2D. The aim of optimization is the search for a pole shape geometry which leads to a homogeneous magnetic field in the region of interest.
