Enrico Di Lorenzo - FastFieldSolvers S.R.L 741336a74a * Support for FHPath (multiple segments along a path) 
- Added FHPath object
- Implemented proper path and filename for exporting FastHenry file
  from FHSolver/FHInputFile object
- Fixed coordinate display to show the actual point coordinates
  when the user is selecting a point on the GUI
- Added option to display / hide the internal nodes of a FHPlane
- Added command to add/remove nodes/holes from an already
  existing FHPlane
- Moved common functions / variables to EM_Globals.py
- Completed all function description texts
- Multiple bug fixes (load FreeCAD file, import EM, etc.)

Description

This project is dedicated to building an ElectroMagnetic workbench for FreeCAD. FreeCAD is a free 3D parametric CAD. FreeCAD is used as pre-processor interfacing to the open source electromagnetic field solvers FastHenry and FasterCap.

At present, the workbench supports:

  • FastHenry inductance solver: ongoing development including GUI support
  • FasterCap capacitance solver: ongoing development, today at the stage of Python macro only, for creating an input file

Installing

The ElectroMagnetic workbench is managed as a FreeCAD addon. This addon can be downloaded by clicking the Download ZIP button found on top of the page, or using Git. The addon must be placed in your user's FreeCAD/Mod folder.

Note: Your user's FreeCAD folder location is obtained by typing in FreeCAD's python console: FreeCAD.ConfigGet("UserAppData").

You must then rename the new folder 'EM'. I.e., the new folder structure must be /Mod/EM. Opening, or closing/reopening FreeCAD then reloads the workbenches, and the E.M. workbench will show up in the pull-down workbenches menu in FreeCAD.
