[Getdp] vector normal to a magnet

[Patrick Dular]

Joseph,

Because Atan2[Y[],X[]]] gives you the angle made by the position vector 
( X[] , Y [] ) (of each current point in the XY-plane, i.e. each point 
where this function has to be evaluated) (see 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atan2), the Vector[] function

   Vector[ Cos[Atan2[Y[],X[]]], Sin[Atan2[Y[],X[]]], 0 ]

gives a radial vector at this point (which can be checked on your field 
map: the direction of the field in the magnets is mainly the radial one.

Cos[Atan2[Y[],X[]]] is the X-projection of the unit radial vector.
Sin[Atan2[Y[],X[]]] is the Y-projection of the unit radial vector.

To define the direction you wish for the remanent induction in each 
magnet, you should use the function I sent you yesterday. If you wish, 
send me your .geo and .pro files and I will implement it for you.
