    The small mesh should be used around the solenoid components and the
    air gap, but some distance away you can use a larger mesh size to
    speed up the calculation. You can see an example using two sizes here:
    http://web2.airmail.net/jd4usa/guncoil5.htm

    (The outer-most boundary that defines 'infinity' is not shown in this
    illustration.)

    When the field strength is large, the BH curves supplied with FEMM
    should be extended with more data points so the relative mu
    approaches unity. You can plot the field for your problem to see if
    you're outside the range of the original BH curve data.
