I made this customized version of the Oct2023 FEMM release to improve its usability.
FEMM Examples (I highly recommend looking into these)
-
The colormap was changed to something usable. Because:
Choosing color palettes : "hue variations are not well suited to representing numeric data"
I implemented Seaborn's rocket colormap because its the best perceptually uniform colormap I have come across.
-
Default unit was changed to millimeters.
-
The output window that popped up on viewing results was deleted (it annoyed me).
-
Points on rendered results are now hidden by default.
-
Flux line, grid and mesh colors were changed.
-
The sidebar is removed and integrated into the topbar.
-
Panning directions were inverted (feels more intuitive to me), and panning distance was reduced.
-
Mesh is now finer (low resolution previously impacted results). NOTE: I do see the compromised solving time ...
-
The app opens in fullscreen.
-
"Fit to screen" (natural zoom) now centers the screen's content.
-
Mousewheel zoom was added.
Clone the repository and ...
... run "femm.exe" found in the "release64" folder.
or
... open "femm43_VS2026.sln" in Visual Studio and build FEMM yourself.
You are free to look into my commits to only apply those you agree with onto the original source code.
