`I wouldn't recommend analyzing a transverse flux LIM with FEMM, because the secondary current paths are pretty 3D. For this sort of problem, I've used FEMM to help me determine reluctances and so on that were rolled into an analytical model of the machine that accounts for its 3D nature.`
`FEMM has been used to analyze longitudinal flux LIMs (e.g. by me). Here again, however, great care must be taken in accounting for transverse edge effects, or very misleading results can be obtained. One way to do this is to increase the resistance of the secondary to take the resistance of the "end turn" part of the secondary current path into account, but this is sort of a kludge that only partially accounts for the transverse edge effects.`

`The program does not take account of the end turn resistance.`
