Description
    Solver for the magnetic field generated by permanent magnets.

    A Poisson's equation for the magnetic scalar potential psi is solved
    from which the magnetic field intensity H and magnetic flux density B
    are obtained.  The paramagnetic particle force field (H dot grad(H))
    is optionally available.
