Integration of the volume segmentation method into an optimization process: application to the sizing of a micro-actuator for deformable mirrors

This 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 finite-element method simulation are done to validate the model of the elementary micro-actuator. Finally, a process of optimization and Pareto methodology are used to choose the efficient coil shape between two suggested structures
