 Figure 1: Sample flyback transformer to be optimized.

The data needed to optimize a flyback transformer is given below.
The optimization method selected for this example uses a two-dimensional magnetic
field simulation and standard layered winding geometry.

Flyback transformer data:

Press the submit button at the bottom of the form and the following results are returned.

First a plot of the current waveforms for each winding is displayed.

The user should confirm that the current form data entered is correct.

This is followed by a plot of the winding window showing the location of each winding

The user should confirm the winding cross section is correct.

The Buildable Design Table is displayed next.

The buildable design table presents specific design information. Each design is numbered and gives the total loss
in Watts, the relative cost and the wire size and number of strands for each winding. The design numbers
correspond to the labels on the Optimal Design Frontier, which is shown next.

The optimal design frontier plots the information given in the buildable design table. The red dashed line
indicates the optimal designs, which are not necessarily buildable due to winding area constraints. The
blue star shows the cost/loss tradoff of the original design of the component being optimized.

The last table shows the design specifications for the optimal designs.

The user should note the rounding of the wire size and number of strands.
