CoSimPy is an open source Python library optimised for Magnetic Resonance Imaging radiofrequency coil design. In particular, the library aims to combine results from electromagnetic (EM) simulations with circuitry analysis offering a co-simulation environment.
In addition to the core methods aimed to perform the EM/Circuit cosimulations, many others are implemented both to simplify the standard workflow (e.g. input/output data management according to some standard and commonly adopted file formats) and evaluate the RF coils performance (e.g. Tx/Rx sensitivities computation, power balance analysis etc.).
CoSimPy has been developed with Python 3.7 and successfully tested down to Python 3.5 up to Python 3.10 on Linux, Windows and macOS.
The library can be easily installed from the Python Package Index (PyPI) repository through the “pip” package installer with the following command: pip install cosimpy.
