Inductor design aid employing genetic algorithms
Jean Fivaz; Willie A Cronje
Abstract:
Recognizing the need and the room for improvement in computer aided engineering (CAE), evolutionary programming and, more specifically, genetic algorithms are used together with an expert system in a hybrid approach to inductor design. The genetic algorithm is used to derive design suggestions and the expert system for the appropriate testing and evaluation of these suggestions. In addition to functional manufacturing constraints, other optimization goals can be added.

Notes:
Uses a GA, but has a pretty poor description of the representation and operators used.
