The application of evolution strategies to the optimal design of electromagnetic devices is investigated. The corresponding field analysis is performed by the finite element method. The strategies involve a simplified simulation of biological evolution. They are especially advantageous in the case of strongly nonlinear optimization problems. The three strategies used are the (1+1), the
