Program that simulates magnets and how they interact

In summary, the conversation is about a person who is looking for an application that can model the interaction between magnets without requiring a lot of time and effort. They prefer an open-source option but are open to a commercial application. They also mention a recommendation for a software from a previous thread.

Hi guys. I got a unique (non-homework) assignment. I'm trying to model the manner in which magnets interact with each other and the forces that they exert on each other when near one another. I would LOVE to do this in an application without investing the time and effort into a full-blown model. Is there such application?

Ideally, it's open-source, but a commercial app will do just fine.

Just noticed that this should be better moved to the computing section. Could someone please move it there?
 

FAQ: Program that simulates magnets and how they interact

How does the program simulate magnets?
