In founding this mailing list, I was hoping that we'd get some of this sort 
of discussion going. That is, understanding the sort of problems that are 
important to other people, and hopefully learning something new in the 
process.

Agnaldo--I am aware of a few of the "odd" properties of superconductors, but 
I don't understand them thoroughly enough to include them in femm. What 
behaviors are you trying to model? Would you be interested in helping to 
incorporate a better understanding of superconductors into femm? (This goes 
for everyone--it might be interesting to get more manpower working on making 
improvements and extensions to the program.)

Cristi--Similar questions. The finite element analysis of electromagnets 
covers a lot of territory. What particular applications are you interested 
in, and what sorts of extensions do you envision to present techinques to 
address the problems that you are looking at?

Dave.
