1. Introduction and Features
FieldMagic is a completely automated field solver for geometrically complex two-dimensional
problems, including heat transfer, electro- and magnetostatics, plate natural vibrations, plate
bending, plane stress and strain, as well as thermal plane stress and strain. Its patented
technology relies on a meshfree method of enforcing the prescribed boundary conditions using
distances. The program comes with an intuitive graphical user interface for problem definition
and a graphical postprocessor for visualization of the modeling results. FieldMagic is designed
for both instruction and the practicing engineer.
The present release (Version 1.2) of FieldMagic is tuned to solve many different field problems
on multiply-connected curved polygonal domains (i.e. polygons with holes bounded by linear
edges, arcs, and circles). Information on how FieldMagic can be used to perform other types of
analysis, as well as its computational infrastructure, and numerical implementation can be found
