• Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to elaborate an algorithm and the software for the rotor structure optimization of the permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) with a magnet composed of two materials made with the use of different technologies: sintered Neodymium magnets and powder dielectromagnets. To execute of optimization of selected motor structure using the non-deterministic procedure.

  Design/methodology/approach – The mathematical model of the devices includes: the equation of the electromagnetic field, the electric circuit equations and equation of mechanical motion. The numerical implementation is based on finite element method and step-by-step algorithm. The genetic algorithm has been applied in the optimization procedures. The computer code has been developed.

  Findings – The elaborated computer software has been applied for the optimization and design of PMSMs. The elaborated algorithm has been tested and a good convergence has been attained. The parameters of two optimal structures of PMSM motors have been compared.

  Originality/value – The presented approach and computer software can be successfully applied to the design and optimization of different structure of PMSM with different type of rotors.
