3D software for magnetic problems

In summary, the conversation is about finding a software for simulating magnetism in 3D, with the exception of the expensive Maxwell 3D. The speaker recommends Elmer and provides instructions on how to find the installation package on the website. The conversation ends with the original speaker expressing gratitude for the help.

Hi,

Does anyone here know of a software where I can simulate magnetism in 3D - except the expensive Maxwell 3D?

Elmer?

Many thanks! I can only find information abour Elmer, source codes etc.

Is there an installation package of Elmer somewhere? Sign-up requirements?

Thanks in advance,

Vidar

If you go to the main page for http://www.csc.fi/english/pages/elmer" ,

and click on "Sources and Compilation",

the very first line of the very first paragraph on that page says: "Ready-compiled binaries" ...where the word 'binaries' is a link...click on it;

then, in the middle of the following page has a link to sourceforge, click on it

once there, do not click on the green download button, that seems to only offer the documentation; instead, go to "Browse all files" and follow the path to the binaries.

...yes, I know, I could have just sent you the link to the final page, but wanted you to know you way to it from the Elmer's page.
