Modelling software ? a waste of time?

Hello!
And program Maxwell 3D?
It, I heard, can solve tasks magnetic fields.
Yours faithfully, Anatoliy.

I think the biggest problem with FEMM is not that it may be using flawed physics....I think it's just using such a limited set that it can't account for everything FEMM only does it's calculations in 2 dimensions....magnets are NOT 2 dimensional, their fields are not 2 dimensional... what we need is a modelling program that works in 3 dimensions, maybe even 4....as well as allowing for a couple of different physics models for the magnets themselves.

Anyone ever think that magnets might be acting in the 4th dimension? It's a strange though that just occurred to me while writing this...

Really interesting topic, and nightwynd maybe right !

Some of you seems succeed in a working device ?
Could you say few words about them .

Hello!
I heard, that in program Maxwell 3D serviceability of my engine (http: // kalininaa.narod.ru) is proved.
Now started to study this program.
Yours faithfully, Anatoly.
