Design Automation (FEMM Scripting, Lua Scripting, Potential Artificial Intelligence AI Foundations)

This document discusses using finite element analysis software and scripting to automate electromagnetic simulations. It provides an example script that opens an existing simulation file, remeshes it, runs the analysis, calculates output forces, and saves the results in a loop to optimize design. Automating simulations through scripting allows running multiple iterations quickly to find optimal designs while reducing material use and costs.

resulting automation

in this tutorial we're going to


be going

to be covering

electromagnetic's finite
element

analysis particularly using


the finite

element method magnetic


software or femm

and we're going to be


working on

scripting with Lua

there are a number of


applications that

these methods can be used


for including

elements of generative
design

algorithmic optimization

and genetic algorithms as


well as

potentially laying the


foundations for

further development in
artificial

intelligence

simulation

the simulation is an imitation


of a real
world system over time and
can

potentially have many


applications

in the context of this tutorial


some of

the potential advantages or

electromagnetic simulations
can include

designing and prototyping


systems or

products before they're built


working

towards an optimal design


reducing costs

as well as saving time

we need the ftmm software


there's a

simple way in which you


can go to the

file tab

button and

select open Lua script in


order to open

the script to automate


simulation

processes

this is an example

of a script that could be

developed and opened


using that
interface so we can walk
through some of

the elements that would go


into

developing this script

so the script is can be


written by any

text editor such as Notepad

um

for femm you might need to


change the

file extension from a text


Dot text file

into a DOT Lua file

so at the top of the file we


see how you

can open an existing file


and then

a specific set of options that


you can

use to remesh on the


existing file and

then

um the specific commands


that will help

to analyze the problem

and after that you can

calculate an output force


and rewr write

those results to a file


so those are

specific elements of code


that would

only run once and in order


to move on to

automating that process


one can write an

iterator

to automate a for Loop


which steps in

increments of one and

underneath that there are a


set of

commands that help you


select a region

and move it analyze the


problem

calculate the output of force


and write

those results to Ohio

at the end of the file we can


reset the

position

to allow the script to run


again

so this is an example of how


one would

open that script file

this is running in real time

demonstrating how quickly


and
effectively one can

run simulations using


scripting and

allow one to automate tasks

and see what the output


results could be

at the end of this

simulation one can open up


the results

file and see what was the


output of the

force on the linear


electromagnetic

device and what one can


notice is that

despite increasing the size


of

the actual

device one may see the


point of

diminishing returns where


by increasing

the size one may not see an


equivalent

increase in force

um

due to sufficient material


already being

present and this speaks to


how one can

potentially
find areas of optimization so
that you

can minimize material use


while also

optimizing the output

the

she wished to download the

femm file in this tutorial as


well as

the Lewis script in order to

be able to utilize it for your


own code

um please see the link


below in order to

download the file

thank you
