    Has anyone got an idea of when it could be possible to have a working 3D
    FEMM?
    I am saying that because we are now in the process of buying 3D
    software, and so far it is a bit hairy, not as friendly as it is sold...

    Would it be possible/useful to "cross pollinate" FEMM with an already
    free 3D finite element software such as Gmsh+GetDP (http://www.geuz.org)
    developed by some guys in the University of Liege (Belgium)?
    Regards,
    Victor.
