Can someone confirm this in FEMM?

That's some really good looking info!
You have the magnets grouped F1 top, F2 center, and F3 bottom?

If you re-order the steps starting with the new step #1 (moving up or fading in the F3 magnet) it will be in order of operation.
It looks like the force on F2 was a constant -6.2N all the way through step 1.
Interesting when it's on a graph.
I may need to try writing scripts after all. That is nice stuff.

Lots of text very little images. I have 0 understanding of what all this talk is about. "Shift this, move that, flip that one". Can't you make images of the step by step process. I can make gif animations but I need to know what the heck is being talked about.

Lumen,
Glad you liked it.
Indeed:
F1 represents the forces of the small top magnet
F2 represents the forces of the long middle magnet
F3 represents the forces of the small bottom magnet

I will rewrite the script according to your latest info on movements, probably tomorrow.

@Broli,
Robbie was graphing out the data for the magnet sequence setup in FEMM4.2 that indicates a gain if stepped through manually which is a real pain.
The graphs look good but the sequence still needs to be changed before any real value can be determined. Even then, with 2D software, it will still needs a build to determine 3d results unless someone can further simulate it in 3D.

If you look back some posts at the FEMM plot, there is a description that gives a better concept of the moving principal.
Still at this time, it's probably not worth anyone else spending time on unless your looking for something to try yourself or see something that could make it better.

It only appears at this time that the setup can have a magnet inserted with no force, then some work gets done and the same magnet can then be removed with no work. (appears in FEMM4.2)

Robbie,
I took your script and figured out how to work it, at least well enough to make the changes. It seems to work good, so I will try to graph some results later tomorrow.
Thanks for the help with FEMM scripting.
