Re: [FEMM] Updated development version



David,
I found a bug in the code.  It shows up in FEMMVIEW and is not obvious
at first.

1. Use a design of your choosing and run FEMM and then bring it
   up in FEMMVIEW.  No problem.
2. Now go back to the original design and change a geometry dimension.
   In my case I changed the thickness of a flux return ring in M19 steel
   with the objective of getting closer to saturation to reduce weight.
3. Run the FEMM simulation again using the same filename.
4. Now bring up the new run in FEMMVIEW.  You will see that the change
   of the geometry is the same as the original. It doesn't get carried
   across to FEMMVIEW. For some reason FEMMVIEW uses the original
geometry
   from the first run. You don't see the change in FEMMVIEW.

In my case the thinner flux return ring didn't show up. It stayed the
same
as the thicker first run case.  Looks like you overlooked something in
reloading and/or clicking on the answer file icon. Seems it doesn't
matter
if you select the file from the window list and reload or click on the
answer icon. It probably is an easy fix.

Regards,
Dave Squires
