Field Precision LLC: Educational resources and freeware

Static-field Analysis Toolkit - Educational
(New version released: Monday, May 12, 2008). You can download a freeware educational version of our popular 2D software for calculating static electric and magnetic fields. The package includes an automatic conformal mesh generator with an interactive drawing editor and DXF import capability. The solution programs have lots of advanced features. EStat (the electrostatic solver) handles anisotropic materials and mathematically-defined continuous spatial variations of dielectric constant or conductivity. PerMag (the magnetostatic solver) handles sauration effects and permanent magnets with non-linear demagnetization curves. The educational version supports up to 16 material regions and 20,000 nodes in a calculation. Click on the following link to enter the download site: Link to SATE download page.
