Magnetic field modeling software?

In summary, the conversation discusses a request for a program that can model how magnetic fields overlap and the patterns that can be created with different arrangements of magnets. The speaker clarifies that they specifically want to model permanent magnets in 3d space and is interested in hearing from people who have used similar software. They also mention the concept of superposition principle, stating that magnetic fields do not influence each other but simply overlap.

Does anyone know a good program, even a demo for modelling how magnetic fields influence each other?

I'd like to run thru some exercises with actual numbers on wjhat kind of field patterns can be made by arranging magnets of same or different strength in different configurations.

I should clarify that I want to model permanent magnets in 3d space. Also, I'm hoping to hear from people who have used said software if possible.

Magnetic fields don't influence each other. They simply overlap. (c.f. superposition principle). If you want the field of two permanent magnets just add the field of one magnet to the field of the other.
