This pull request introduces several significant updates and improvements across the codebase, focusing on new functionality, code maintenance, and bug fixes. The most notable changes include the addition of a versatile BasisModel class for fitting and evaluating various basis functions, enhancements to MotorCAD data processing and visualization, and cleanup of phasor diagram plotting logic.

New functionality and model fitting

• Added a comprehensive BasisModel class that supports fitting and evaluating multiple basis types (polynomial, RBF, Chebyshev, Legendre, thinplate, and tpaps), with methods for normalization, convex hull masking, degree selection, and table-based fitting. This greatly enhances the flexibility and reusability of basis function modeling in the codebase.

MotorCAD data processing and visualization

• Introduced devPlotMCADIronLossCoeffMap, a new function for visualizing and interpolating MotorCAD FEA loss coefficient data with improved mesh and spline interpolation, facilitating more accurate and higher-resolution analysis.
• Added comments and minor code improvements to MotorCAD-related scripts, including clearer variable loading and workspace setup. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5]

Phasor diagram plotting and cleanup

• Removed the obsolete and overly complex blondelPhasorDiagram function, streamlining the codebase and reducing maintenance burden.
• Simplified axis plotting in the phasor diagram logic by removing redundant quiver calls, improving clarity and maintainability.

Minor improvements and bug fixes

• Corrected a function name typo from plot_xdxq to plot_xdyq, ensuring proper function referencing and invocation.
• Updated JMAG version default from 210 to 222 in JmagData, ensuring compatibility with newer software releases.
• Fixed minor formatting and assignment issues in JMAG export logic and result plotting scripts.
