Abstract :
This paper describes topology optimization of electromagnetic systems using the multi-grid method. The present topology optimization employs uniform rectangular finite elements, in which the multi-grid method effectively works as a fast linear solver. Moreover, the present method uses a new optimization algorithm, based on the artificial immune systems paradigm, in which multi-level search is carried out
