MAGGY2, a program package for two‐dimensional magnestostatic problems

Abstract

Abstract This paper describes the essential features of the program package MAGGY2. With MAGGY2, magnetostatic problems in two dimensions can be analysed. The co‐ordinate system may be Cartesian, cylindrical or polar. A finite element method with bilinear isoparametric quadrilaterals is used. Input must be given in the problem‐oriented language MAGLAN. This language is based on the idea that a user of MAGGY2 wants to describe his problem rather than give commands for its solution. The algorithm and the problem‐oriented language are described. Some examples showing the use of the package are given.
