Introduction
The ElectroMagnetic (EM) Workbench provides the CAD front-end interface to some open source free solvers. At present it supports FastHenry. Support for FasterCap is ongoing. The EM Workbench is a FreeCAD addon, that can be installed on demand. It is not part of the standard FreeCAD install.
Installation
At present, the EM Workbench must be manually installed. See the instructions in the README at the EM Workbench GihHub page.
FastHenry Tools
These are tools used to interface with FastHenry:
- File:EM FHNode.png FHNode: Creates a node
API
The EM tools can be used in macros and from the Python console by using the EM API.
