Graphical language interpreter and meshing tool for electromagnetic computations

The authors present three software tools that were developed together with an electromagnetic field computation program within the framework of finite and boundary element (possibly coupled) methods. The first tool consists of a two-dimensional or three-dimensional structure generator whose results are transmitted to a second tool: an interactive meshing program or an automatic surface generator. These three programs, written in FORTRAN and associated with the submission of a dynamic memory allocation module, are very simple to use and have proved to be extremely useful by allowing the submission of complicated real cases in a short time. Two examples are considered: a stepping motor and a hairpin transformer
