I thought maybe someone should start a list of the best free magnetic-field, simulators , just so people might have a less important alternative way to test magnet-motor designs etc, obviously it is not a satisfactory replacement for building actual devices .
( Personally I'm only interested in the fields of permanent-magnets, but I would hate exclude simulators of the fields of electromagnets from this thread )
( I think that these types of software would be very limited or ineffective when it comes to eddy-currents, but what about magnetic-fields interacting with each other, and in particular magnetic-fields interacting with each other from a long distance, so that two fields might only interact in an undulating or intermittent manner )
Which are the best totally free magnetic-field simulators

Which are the best totally free magnetic-field simulators
There are several open source packages that have solvers for magnetostatics.
1. MaxFEM (MaxFEM)
2. ELMER (Elmer finite element software)
3. OpenFOAM (Standard Solvers -- included the static magnetic solver)
one i tried was this: http://www.femm.info/wiki/HomePage
its free enough. and with the right amount of LSD, you WILL discover overunity using this useful software!
LSD is probably not needed, just download the software from that link and find yourself lost in it for hours trying out different settings.
ideally it would have templates of other inclusions, such as different materials, shapes and numbers of materials etc.

thanks for those
Since I won't be able to build any of my designs, this software is better than nothing
Thanks for update....
Thanks for sharing this list of the best free magnetic-field. This is really very useful information. :)
Magnetic fields are produced by means of the motion of electrical fees. As an example, the magnetic subject of a bar magnet effects from the movement of negatively charged electrons in the magnet. The origin of the earth's magnetic discipline isn't always completely understood, but is thought to be associated with electrical currents produced by the coupling of convective consequences and rotation within the spinning liquid metal outer middle of iron and nickel. This mechanism is named the dynamo impact.
Thanks for the share. It was really helpful.
This is really useful post
A few years ago I read a news which related to a research base.
The research based on refrigeration mean "how magnetism field is using in place of a compressor of a refrigerator cooling system".It is most of the safest way to refrigerator ..
So can you give an update on that news??I need it for My project work.
I personally use them exclusively high-quality elements. I would love to see more of the same from you.

Well! The writer here has done a great job.

I am checking into it. CAE Linux looks very good as well. I am trying to set up a virtual setup to run a Ubuntu install for the software.
