Integration of the volume segmentation method into an optimisation process. Application to the sizing of a micro- actuator for deformable mirrors

International audienceThis work comes from the demand of the optimization of an elementary micro-actuator of a deformable mirror. First, we have created a generator which package an electromagnetic solver based on the volume segmentation method into a standard software component. An experiment and a FEM simulation are done to validate the model of elementary micro actuator. And finally, a process of optimization and Pareto methodology are used to chose the efficient coil shape between two suggested structures
