Optimizing the efficiency of devices using magnetic fields relies on fast and accurate magnetostatic numerical models. A custom package was developped in Python (with embedded C functions) and was first used  as the core of a 3D high fidelity sizing tool for synchronous machines, but could also be used in various other applications, such as magnetic levitation.

The package is general enough to handle almost any magnetostatic problem using time and memory efficient algorithms. All the most important features of the tool will be presented in a coherent way, including sources (current densities, permanent magnets), magnetic materials (soft ferromagnets, diamagnets, hard superconductors) and postprocess (force, torque, energy).
