Genetic Algorithm 2D Magnetic Physics Simulation

I've been looking for a program that simulates physics in 2D. I know there are plenty of them out there like Algodoo, but none of them that I've been able to find can simulate permanent magnets with a decent degree of accuracy & that the ones I have seen are mostly closed-source.

What I was hoping to do was to make a program that uses a genetic algorithm (much like http://boxcar2d.com) to procedurally place bar & disc magnets of various dimensions, orientations, strengths & weights in rotationally-symmetrical locations around a free-spinning wheel & the stationary background. The program would try out millions of combinations on its own guiding the magnet placement until the wheel is self-spinning & with the fewest possible magnets.
"I think it's better to have ideas [than beliefs.] You can change an idea. Changing a belief is trickier. Life should malleable and progressive; working from idea to idea permits that. Beliefs anchor you to certain points and limit growth; new ideas can't generate. Life becomes stagnant." - Rufus the 13 Apostle.
