Desenvolvimento de um sistema parametrizado de projeto assistido por computador

Abstract

This work presents a parametric system to be used in a computer aided design process. This system provides facilities to the design of electromagnetic devices since points of geometry can be parametrized with mathematic expressions. Moreover, it provides tools that can be used to optimise the design. The parametric system is composed of three subsystems. The expression evaluator subsystem is responsible for the evaluation and internal runtime storement of the system's parameters. The interface subsystem makes a graphical interface with the designer. Finally, the storement subsystem records the data inserted by the designer. The parametric system together with a processor system based in the Finite Element Method and an optimisation system constitute a complete computational system for the design of electromagnetic devices.
