MAG2W is a Windows program for designing coils to produce 2D transverse magnetic fields. The program uses fully-keystoned annular conductors or rectangular conductors. The annular conductor calculations can include the effects of circular, infinite permeability iron. The program displays the coil configuration graphically and shows the location of the peak field. It also shows the net force on each of the coil blocks. The normal and skew multipoles are listed. It can optionally display the field components on the midplane, the force distribution inside the coils, a grid of the magnetic field inside the aperture, magnetic lines of force, or the Fourier components around a reference circle. It also contains a built-in optimizer.
MAG2W is under active development at the present time. It is being made available as a potential aid to members of the collaboration for studying transverse field magnet designs. Although considerable effort has gone into making the code give accurate answers, it is ultimately the user's responsibility to check that the program gives reasonable answers to any specific problem.
