Roy's program is nothing more than a calculator.
It is not equipped with computor analytical skills such as an
optimizer where the computor searches for possible changes to the
imput to determine maximum required results .
As a calculator you insert the math question and the calculator
provides the result
A computor optimizer does exactly what the title suggests, it works
for you in search of a better arrangement that you supplied so you may
determine an optimum solution for the inputted request. None tell you
that thematerial used must be diamagnetic so just use aluminum or
copper
and you will be O.K. As far as purchasing a computor program there are
choices out there that are not so basic.
