    FEMM seeks to be completely open as to what the code is doing and how it is
    doing it. There is a chapter in the manual entitled "Numerical Methods" that
    tells, in broad terms, the methods that femm is implementing. References
    that explain the particular methods used by femm also cited in the manual.
    You can also download the source to see how these methods were (hopefully
    correctly) implemented.

    Many of the commercial fea companies have been pretty good about writing
    journal and conference papers that describe interesting algorithms from their
    codes in detail. The place to look is IEEE Transactions on Magnetics.
    Several of the commercial companies have bibliographies that list their
    publications, so that it is easier to figure out what a particular code is
    doing. Check out:

    Infolytica at http://www.infolytica.com/en/library/ (these guys have
    published a lot of neat papers)

    Ansoft at http://www.ansoft.com/news/articles/index.cfm

    Integrated Engineering Software at http://www.integratedsoft.com/papers.htm

    Mega at http://www.bath.ac.uk/elec-eng/pages/staff/dr.htm

    SLIM at
    http://www.technology.alstom.com/en/rdpolicy/consultancy/slim/docs/ow/ow_recent_pub.htm

    FlexPDE at http://www.pdesolutions.com/products3.htm

    Field Precision at http://www.fieldp.com/book.html

    The guys at Vector Fields and Magsoft have also published a lot of articles,
    but I couldn't find any centralized list of references on their sites.
