Keywords: finite element method, scripting language, Finite Element Method Magnetics, Lua programming, electromagnetic field INTRODUCTION Electromagnetic field theory shows that very few problems of electromagnetism have analytical solutions, that is, solutions in the form of mathematical functions describing the behaviour of the electromagnetic field in a region from space to time and space [1], [2], [3]. Of the numerical methods existing in the literature, the finite element method is one of the most used for the numerical calculation of the electromagnetic field at industrial frequencies and of the electrostatic, magnetostatic, or stationary magnetic field [4]. Finite Element Method Magnetics (FEMM) is an open source software application for solving electromagnetic problems based on the finite element method [7], [8]. Tasks that can be automated by scripting can be related to software applications, text editors, web pages, operating system shells, embedded systems and computer games [13].
