## Abstract Designing gradient coils for permanent magnets requires modeling the interaction between the currents and the ferromagnetic material. We have developed and tested an iterative design approach based on the boundary element method. The power dissipated by the gradient coil is treated as a
The "forward" method of an optimal gradient coil design provides a coil that has the minimal cost function value. It is shown in this study that the solution obtained by minimizing the cost function is directly dependent on the specified cost function and generally results in a deviation from the mo
