Course content

In three chapters, we will introduce you to the essential features and workflow of Magpylib:

• Chapter 1: Magpylib Objects – Create, visualize, and manipulate magnetic sources, sensors, and other objects.
• Chapter 2: Magnetic Field Calculation – Calculate magnetic fields and other physical quantities and learn how to perform efficient vectorized computations.
• Chapter 3: Visualization – Visualize magnetic systems and field results, customize graphics, and create animations.

Learning goals

After completing this course, you will be able to use the basic functionality of Magpylib to create magnetic systems, calculate their magnetic fields, and visualize the results.

You will also understand the basic principles behind Magpylib's calculations and know how to use vectorized computations for efficient simulations.

Prerequisites

Basic programming knowledge is recommended, preferably in Python or a similar programming language. No advanced knowledge of magnetism or numerical simulation is required.

To actively follow the examples in the course, you will need a working Python environment.

Course schedule

The course consists of three chapters. Each chapter introduces new concepts through explanatory videos and practical examples. The chapters build on each other and are designed to be completed in sequence.

The course is available for self-study, allowing you to learn at your own pace and revisit the individual lessons whenever needed.

For actively participating in the course you will receive an automatic certificate which includes your name, the course name as well as the completed units. We want to point out that this certificate merely confirms that you answered at least 75% of the self-assessment questions correctly.

Additional information

Magpylib is free to use, open source and available on Github. You can experiment with the examples presented in the course and use Magpylib for your own projects and applications.

The online Magpylib documentation includes further information, examples, and details about the available functionality.

We encourage you to use the documentation as a reference while experimenting with Magpylib and exploring its capabilities beyond this introductory course.
