// This code simulates the static magnetic field created by 5 permanent magnets (1cm x 1cm) placed side by side.
// A steel region above the magnets is perturbing the magnetic field lines.
//
// The magnetic scalar potential is used to solve this problem. This is valid since there are no current sources.
// The permanent magnets are treated as pre-magnetized pieces of non-magnetic material (since all magnetic domains are already fully oriented).
