Hi guys, I want you to help mentioning whatever FREE electromagnetic simulation software you know. We want to step up to the free world even in our field, and it's really unfair that humans are far from reaching these technologies just because others want to make money and they don't have these huge piles of money to pay for licenses that will last for a year or so. Electromagnetic simulation in three dimension The Electromagnetic Low Frequency (ELF) Simulator is a tool designed to simulate the result magnetic field of some configuration in 50-60 Hz frequency. The electric configuration can includes power lines, coils, transformers, electric cabinet and electric poles.
3d Magnetic Field Simulation Software
The following table list notable software packages that are nominal EM (electromagnetic) simulators;

- MedFDTD is a 3D parallel electromagnetic simulation software for bioelectromagnetics by FDTD method. MedFDTD can simulate electromagnetic radiation, calculate SAR and temperature rise, estimate antenna radiation power, and all calculations can be performed in parallel.
- GprMax is open source software that simulates electromagnetic wave propagation. It solves Maxwell’s equations in 3D using the Finite-Difference Time-Domain (FDTD) method. GprMax was designed for modelling Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) but can also be used to model electromagnetic wave propagation for many other applications.
- Jun 07, 2018 Download MaxFEM for free. Software for electromagnetic simulation. MaxFem is an open software package for electromagnetic simulation by using finite element methods. The package can solve problems in electrostatics, direct current, magnetostatics and eddy-currents.
- WIPL-D Pro, the flagship product of the WIPL-D software suite, is an extremely powerful full-wave 3D electromagnetic solver providing fast and accurate electromagnetic simulations of arbitrary metallic and dielectric/magnetic structures.
