  • read BCH/BATCH, I7/ISA7, PLT, ERG files

  • read and write MCV files (magnetizing curves)

  • create FSL files from model and calculation templates and/or user specific FSL or from DXF

  • create a variety of plots

  • calculate machine characteristics by using analytic machine models

  • execute parameter studies and multi-objective optimization
