The program comes with no warranty or support. However, there is an independent FEMM user's group at http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/femm/ and many frequently asked questions are addressed in the FAQ FAQ.
Old Versions
Old versions of FEMM, Bela, and Mirage are also still available on the OldVersions page.
Related Tools
The FEMM 4.2 distribution includes toolboxes for interacting with FEMM from Octave/Matlab, Scilab, and Mathematica. Recommended distributions of Gnu Octave that run on Windows are:
- QtOctave 0.7.2 Distribution. Gnu Octave 3.0.0 with a nice front end.
FEMM needs the Octave-Forge "Windows" package to efficiently communicate with Octave. In recent versions of Octave, Octave-Forge must manually be select during install:
After Octave install, you'll need to add FEMM's mfiles directory to Octave's search path.
For Matlab, add the mfiles directory with the interactive pathtool command.
Scilab can be obtained from http://www.scilab.org/.
