Hi everyone!
I only postet this on this board because it hasn't anything to do with calculators and also not that much wich coding.

I am currently searching for a program with which I can calculatre magnet field lines.
But not such a freeware-stuff with 20x20x20 measuring points!
It must support calculating magnet field lines in a very high quality and as exact as possible.

It should also be able to calculate and show me the possible affections of the magnet field by the environment and different high-tech materials (like permalloy).

I don't care about the program's language as long as there's anyone who can translate it.

I also don't care about how much the software costs.
But the only program I found jet costs about 6000$ 
And that's a little bit too much for me... 



I hope someone can help me! 

Or does anyone know if it is possible to do it with one of those programs?


I need it to exactly calculate the strength of the magnetic field of different shaped magnets

If I knew how magnets worked maybe i could make one. The hockey one is the only one i knew like that. maybe ask them for the source and see if someone could port that to what you need?

You could program one

how?   I think there really is a reason why those programs cost that much and need that much space...

Spoiler For hockey game:

Hm, iirc there was this magnet-hockey game somewhere that I think had lines..
See if I can find it.

I don't think anyone will do that. At least, it'll take much time! I need to work with different types of magnets, materials and all of that in different areas. I also must be able to pick any point in the animation and get known the power of the magnetic field there. Noone would make a program supporting all of that in less than one month! And of cause also not for free.
But would you really try to make one if you would understand how magnets work?    That would be great!  

Darl181, sorry, but I don't think it would be exact enough! and of cause also not work with different types of materials, magnets, .... And It's all in 2D
But At least we now have a working 2d-Program. (which doesn't really help me that much)

http://magnetism-3d.software.informer.com/ good enough?

Does that program support multiple types of materials and magnets? And am I able to pick any measuring point in the animation and check out the power of the magnet field there?

Like I already said, I want to calculate the magnetic field lines of a constellation of different cinds of magnets and materials in multiple areas. And I need it to be as exact al possible. that's all.
(It's for an experiment and a bet)

well, that would be a veeery hard challange...

You don't thave enough free time, right?

Well, a few years ago there has been a free version 'Maxwell SV' of a commercial program for this purpose. Of course after such a long time the program isn't downloadable anymore from the original site, but after some 'googling' I found the following site:
http://www-personal.engin.umd.umich.edu/~chrismi/downloads/

Here you find MaxwellSV.exe (36MB). I don't know if this is what you're looking for (it's just too big for me for trying it only), but maybe it's the right thing for you.

PS: I've just found that even the link on the original developer (Ansoft) site is still existing (although it's quite hidden):

Er, Franz! There is a little thing I don't really understand...
You said this is a download link, already existing since a few years.
But the program I can download there has been uploaded only three hours ago! When you posted this.
have YOU something to do with this?

ithe times are equal! the file was modified only a few minutes before he posted it here.
