Repository for the “MotorFemmulator” electric motor simulation Lua & Octave code:
- Web browsable: if you just want to see it;
- Downloadable tarball: if you want to try it out;
- SVN checkout: if you want to contribute in development. Here’s an SVN client program for Windows, in case you decide to work with me. GNU/Linux users have their SVN client implementations via their own distro package managers.

Can I have your Lua script of motor

Kailash, all the code is already publicly available in the repository.
You have 2 links above:
– The “Web browsable” version, where you can navigate the files and read the code online (and also save the files one by one, if you wish) – just click on the little version number after the file name, it will show you the content of the file;
– The “SVN Checkout” page, where you can find instructions for doing an automatic checkout of the files through a “Subversion” client software (in Windows/Linux/Mac/etc.).

– I’ve added a third option “downloadable tarball”; click that to get a compressed file with the latest version of all the files in the repository.

Sourceforge.net has upgraded their platform. I’ve updated the MotorFemmulator links.

My dear friend, what you’re doing is amazing. Congratulation.
There is something I don’t get with what you did on FEMM.
How did you find the value and the shift phase of the current density in each segment wich simulate the magnet ?
Thanks my friend you’re the best !
