FRC Studio V02: 3D meshes, rotating magnetic fields and reproducible FEM studies
FRC Studio V02.260824: the latest qualified software scope
FRC Studiohas evolved beyond its initial V01 alpha announcement. The currentV02.260824product authority is a macOS-first Python/Qt application connecting geometry, materials, meshing, prescribed electromagnetic excitation, solver execution and results review.
One project, several traceable computational steps
The workflow supports STEP/STL model import with semantic roles, Gmsh 3D volume meshing and quality checks, harmonic-current and four-coil rotating-magnetic-field (RMF) studies, a typed Elmer FEM harmonic-magnetodynamics path and ParaView field inspection. Numerical comparisons should record geometry, material parameters, phase assumptions, mesh resolution and software versions.
What V02 does not claim
Prescribed-current electromagnetic simulations arenotself-consistent kinetic or MHD plasma solutions, and a successful solver run is not evidence of stable fusion confinement, a verified plasma temperature or physical reactor performance. Advanced plasma solvers and real laboratory measurement integration remain separately gated research work.
Projects affected:FRC Studio, measurement workflows and future reproducible simulation-to-experiment courses.
