NMAG - Computationall Micromagnetics [Micromagnetic modelling tool based on finite elements]
Nmag has not been activily developed further since around 2012. However, it is still in use by several research groups; citations for the nmag paper are around 185 (Web of Science) and 300 (Google Scholar) at the end of 2019.
It is essentially usable: the deployment method chosen has proved surprisingly robust. Based on a tarball of all required libraries, Nmag can be compiled with a little bit of care and manual corrections, but doesn't work out of the box.
Nmag documentation is available at https://nmag-project.github.io/.
Software is available at https://nmag-project.github.io/download.html
The original developers had to move on to other tasks.
This is a call to the Nmag users: those with interest and/or skill to hepl with the above tasks, please step forward and contact nmag.project@gmail.com to offer to help.

The server nmag.soton.ac.uk needs to be decommissed. It would be good to take all data on there, and make it available elsewhere. This includes the documentation, the content of the Wiki and binaries.
-
update tar-ball to compile automatically and make available (#2) The compilation as described on the current webpages doesn't work automatically. It would be good if this could be fixed and a fixed version made available. There are patches available (for example https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/nmag-users/XglwvaFdQs8), somebody needs to integrate them, and ideally create a new tarball that extracts and compiles out of the box (at least on Linux, ideally also on OS X).

Update the new webpages to point to new URLs (#3)
-
Save information from https://nmag.soton.ac.uk/community/wiki/nmag (#4)
-
Shut down old server (#5)
