About Magnum
Magnum is a versatile tool for 3D finite-element magnetostatic calculations. The program features high accuracy and speed at a moderate price. Magnum can perform three types of calculations: 1) free-space fields in unbounded volumes for given applied currents, 2) bounded fields in the presence of coils, permanent magents and saturable isotropic ferromagnetic materials and 3) pulsed fields in regions with ideal conductors. The program handles saturation effects in ferromagnetic materials and modern permanent-magnet materials (NdFeB and SmCo). The package includes five linked components: Geometer (build 3D structures in an interactive environment), MetaMesh (automatically create conformal hexahedron meshes), MagWinder (build complex 3D drive coil assemblies), Magnum (generate magnetic-field solutions interactively in a window or under command control), and MagView (make 2D/3D plots and perform quantitative analyses).
