Re: Magnetostatic analysis code?

Hello, Joe

Unfortunately i don't think there are available 3D free FEM
simulations tools f r solving your problem, I would recommend you
ANSYS but you need a lot of time and time to invest in it, although it
is a very good and a profit investment.

Can anyone recommend simulation code (source or compiled) for finding
the 3D magnetic field for constant currents (or, for that matter,
permanent magnets)?

If it matters, the system I want to analyze consists of six large
(radius ~= 1 m) coils arranged on the faces of an imaginary cube, with
their magnetic fields all pointing inward towards the center of the cube.

I'm aware of the "Maxwell" 2D field simulator from Ansoft, but for my
purpose I really need to compute/visualize a 3D field. I need free or
open-source code (which I'm willing to invest the time needed to learn),
as my budget is very limited. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
