finmag | Python layer on top of FEniCS to enable Python

finmag is a Jupyter Notebook library. finmag has no bugs, it has no vulnerabilities and it has low support. However finmag has a Non-SPDX License. You can download it from GitHub.

Finmag was intended to be a thin (and mostly) Python layer on top of FEniCS to enable Python-scripted multi-physics micromagnetic simulations. Accordingly, the name FINmag originates from the dolFIN interface to FEniCS. Some compiled code moved into the project. The code has been developed from 2011 to 2018 by Hans Fangohr's group at the University of Southampton (UK) and European XFEL GmbH (Germany). The GitHub page of the project with the most recent version is This is a working prototype which is not polished, with some (in large parts outdated) attempts at documentation. There is also some outdated code in the repository. We do not consider the codebase, documentation, and other content of sufficient quality to encourage uptake in the community. (Experts are welcome!) This is primarily a resource problem. Does not execute efficiently in parallel (time integration is serial). There is no support available. Contributions and pull requests to both the code and documentation are welcome, but no promise can be made that these will be reviewed and/or integrated. The code has been used for a number of scientific studies and publications (see the Publications section). The repository may well be of historical value and probably captures some of the typical research software engineering challenges. (We should write up a summary of our gathered experiences.). There has not been dedicated funding to support the software development.
