Abstract: This paper presents automatic software for E-liked shaped contactless inductive power transfer (CIPT) device study and design that provides attended-free, multiple-case auto-generating and auto-deploying analysis in one go. It provides visualized and listed results in a design space or for optimizing solutions. To satisfy the demand for static and dynamic charging devices, the software provides specific cores, such as EE-, EI-, IE-, and II-shaped, with or without legs as optional core structures. The software contains three main parts: a user-friendly interface, analytic approaches providing grid analysis that represent the general performance in a designated parameter range, and optimal analysis for multi-objective optimization using a genetic algorithm (GA). The post-analysis processor converts the analysis results to easy-to-read outputs. Users can customize various parameters, such as core type, structural size, circuit configuration, materials, and analysis setting. Automatic functions, such as resistance and compensation calculation, are available for the convenience of the user. By applying one approach, or by combining them in a specific order, the software achieves designs that satisfy the user’s demands within the user-provided range. The software is built in Python and collaborates with a finite element method (FEM) solver, which is JMAG in this paper. Some examples are given to demonstrate the performance of the software.
