Among them Finite Element Method (FE) is considered as a superior one despite its rather complex coding requirements. As programming environment, until recently FORTRAN and C/C++ have been the usual choice but now MATLAB and even JAVA are becoming alternative options. This paper briefly discusses some programming issues and outlines superiorities and weakness of the development environments regarding FE modeling of electromagnetics over an example problem.enFinite elements modellingNumerical ElectromagnetismArticle
