Abstract: The paper describes a fully automated procedure to optimize the configuration of the magnetic circuit in EMS-MAGLEV systems. The procedure elaborates the results obtained through FEM numerical analyses and automatically re-defines the parameters of the configuration to minimize a suitable objective function, which takes into account both significant electromagnetic quantities and design constraints.
