====== MAGNETICS ======
Don't know how to do something in FEMM? First, read through the manual. But perhaps you can find some useful tricks and tutorials below.

==== Simple tutorial ====

===== Magnetics pre-process ======

==== Mesh ====
==== Boundary conditions ====
  * The length of segments for periodic and anti-periodic boundary should match to within 1e-6 of the base units used in the geometry. 
==== Circuits =====
  * [[3-phase currents]]
==== Materials =====
  * [[Loss angle]]
==== Analyse =====
  * [[Power loss in windings]]
===== Magnetics post-process ======
