MagTense: a micromagnetic framework using the analytical demagnetization tensor

Abstract: We present the open source micromagnetic framework, MagTense, which utilizes a novel discretization approach of rectangular cuboid or tetrahedron geometry "tiles" to analytically calculate the demagnetization field. Each tile is assumed to be uniformly magnetized, and from this assumption only, the demagnetization field can be analytically calculated. Using this novel approach we calculate the solution to the mmag standard micromagnetic problems 2, 3 and 4 and find that the MagTense framework accurately predicts the solution to each of these. Finally, we show that simulation time can be significantly improved by performing the dense demagnetization tensor matrix multiplications using NVIDIA CUDA.
