Computer-Aided Design in Magnetics by D.A. Lowther, P.P. Silvester.

Computer-aided design has come of age in the magnetic devices industry. From its early beginnings in the 1960s, when the precision needs of the experimental physics community first created a need for computational aids to magnet design, CAD software has grown to occupy an important spot in the indus...
