This looks like a good project and has had a good start. However, it seems that the project has not gained much attention, and the various applications and foundational support are not yet well-developed. Is there a way to maintain this community?

Hello,

Thank you for your interest in Pyleecan.

I would say that the most important point for pyleecan to move forward would be solving the dependencies/python version issue (#693). We have/had a lot of issues from users about the difficulty to get pyleecan from pypi. We have the GUI exe that mitigate this issue but if you use the GUI exe then you miss a lot of pyleecan features and you are not learning the scripting basics from the tutorials. On this same topic, I would say that making FEMM properly work on Linux would help a lot the project (#104) . These 2 issue are preventing a lot of people to join pyleecan's community.

Next step would be to improve the existing documentation/tutorials with more practical application. Pyleecan has a great teaching/research potential but unfortunately I'm not an electrical engineer myself. I could provide scripting guidelines on how to create that if someone take the "scientific lead". I'm convinced that we can easily create several notebook that can help understand the basics of electrical machines.

If you think you can help on some on these subjects (or others), I can take some time to guide you.

Best regards, Pierre
