MDP: Experience with a two dimensional magnetostatic program

This paper describes a program for the solution of the two-dimensional Magnetostatic problem with saturable iron using the piecewise constant integral algorithm. The code features interactive user data I/O and program supervision using a Control Statement language. Graphical display is used to present results of computations. A critique of the program is presented based on user´s experience with it. The effect of original design of the code on subsequent modifications or improvements is discussed.
