EM Workbench
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.
