02Nov2009:
* Added the Lua commands mi_setgroup, ei_setgroup, hi_setgroup, ci_setgroup
that assign all selected items to the group number specified by the
argument to the function.
* Fixed a bug that caused an incorrect permeability to be reported for
nonlinear materials at points where the flux density is less than 10nT.
* Fixed bugs with ci_addconductor and ci_modifyconductor Lua functions.
* Fixed bug with CIAddMaterial function in MathFEMM
15Jul2009: Several minor changes have been made versus the 01Apr2009 release:
* Added the following Lua commands that allow direct access to finite
element mesh information:
mo_numnodes, mo_numelements, mo_getnode, mo_getelement,
eo_numnodes, eo_numelements, eo_getnode, eo_getelement,
ho_numnodes, ho_numelements, ho_getnode, ho_getelement,
co_numnodes, co_numelements, co_getnode, co_getelement.
There are Matlab/Octave and Mathematica analogs of these commands, too.
* Made a few more performance tweaks to the Mathematica interface.
* Fixed bug in computation of heat flux passing through a constant
temperature-type "conductor property"
* Included a new selection of soft magnetic materials in the magnetic
materials library. The BH curves for these materials were obtained by
digitizing the curves picutured in Figure 17, "Direct current
magnetization curves for various magnetic materials", Metals Handbook,
8th ed, Vol. 1, p. 792. These curves represent a wide variety of
materials, and the curves are defined to very high flux levels at
which all materials are fully saturated.
