    There is no question that a 3D version of FEMM would help me
    in the work I'm doing. (Permanent Magnet linear motors).
    But here's a trick based on the way the 3D graphics market
    evolved about 15 years ago... The symmetrical capability
    in FEMM right now could be expanded.

    This only makes sense as an intermediate step... The long term
    goal should continue to be full 3D capability. But in the mean
    time....

    Right now you can do axisymmetric models in FEMM. If that
    could be expanded to allow a single 3D vector, lots of projects
    become do-able without the huge effort in math needed for full
    3D models. The idea would be to add a single depth vector, and
    build elements that extend past the ends of the 3D vector by
    some dimension.

    So you could model any set of objects that are aligned along
    at least one axis and that have uniform depth.

    The other item on my wish list is modeling over time, so that you
    could see the momentary and cumulative behavior of motors and
    other moving systems.... And I know just how tall an order that is.

    Go for it. Hope this helps.
