Finite Element Method Magnetics


A Windows finite element solver for 2D and axisymmetric magnetic, electrostatic, heat flow, and current flow problems with graphical pre- and post-processors.

Stable Distribution (21Apr2019)

The 21Apr2019 build has been promoted to be the new Stable Distribution.


Release notes are on the ReadMe page. The program comes with no warranty or support. However, there is an independent FEMM user's group at https://groups.io/g/femm/ and many frequently asked questions are addressed in the FAQ.

Development Build

Test / Developmental builds are available on the NewBuild page. The most recent new build is 22Oct2023.

Old Versions

Old versions of FEMM, Bela, and Mirage are also still available on the OldVersions page.


The FEMM 4.2 distribution includes toolboxes for interacting with FEMM from Octave/Matlab, Scilab, Mathematica, and Python.

Matlab

For Matlab, add the mfiles directory with the interactive pathtool command.

Octave

You can download the most recent distribution of GNU Octave from https://www.gnu.org/software/octave/download.html

FEMM needs the Octave-Forge "Windows" package to efficiently communicate with Octave. Recent builds of Octave install the Windows package automatically, but in some older versions, Octave-Forge must be selected manually during install:

Select OctaveForge during the install of Octave

After installation, you'll need to add FEMM's mfiles directory to Octave's search path:

Add FEMM mfiles directory to Octave search path

Scilab

Scilab can be obtained from http://www.scilab.org/. The SciFEMM interface is automatically included in every installation. 64-bit FEMM requires 64-bit Scilab for the the two programs to successfully communicate (and 32-bit FEMM requires 32-bit Scilab).

Mathematica

The MathFEMM interface to Mathematica has been tested on Mathematica 7 through 12. The package works with either the 32 or 64 bit versions of Mathematica.

Python

A Python interface to FEMM is available from the pyFEMM page or from its page on PyPI.

License

FEMM is licensed under the terms of the Aladdin Free Public License. The Triangle mesh generator and the Lua scripting language, which are included in the distribution, each have their own licensing terms.
