[chaiturockz]

Hi all,
I want to learn tools like MAXWELL 2d 3d , MAGNET, FLUX etc.

I want to know if I'll need to know CAD and FEM Analysis to learn the above mentioned tools.

Thankyou,
Chaitanya

Understanding the technique used (FEM, Galerkin method, or whatever each package uses) is good, but above all you need a complete mastery of E&M. The best engineers and designers are those who already have a feel, before they simulate, for how to design their product and for what the simulation results will look like.
