• koil:
• design of balanced symmetrical windings
• synthesis of custom windings
• apollo:
  from flux-linkages maps of synchronous machines to:
• apparent and incremental inductances
• mtpa trajectory
• self-sensing capability evaluation
• tiziano:
  some utilities to build FE meshes and run FE simulations
