μfem documentation¶

Introduction¶

μfem focuses on electromagnetic simulation — electrostatics, magnetostatics, time-domain and time-harmonic magnetics, and full Maxwell problems — with coupled thermal and structural physics where they matter.

A growing collection of examples and validation cases — including the Compumag TEAM benchmarks, induction-heating studies, motor and transformer sector models, and other reference problems from the electromagnetics, thermal, and structural literature — is hosted at github.com/Raiden-Numerics/mufem.

It is distributed as a Python library for setting up and running complex simulations, from quick parameter sweeps to large multiphysics campaigns, built on top of the MFEM finite-element framework. No GUI is provided — mesh generation and visualization are delegated to external tools such as gmsh and ParaView.

Using an AI assistant? Because a simulation is just a Python script, an AI coding assistant can set one up for you.
