Femm is pretty good with solenoids. An example would be the "Force on a Saturating Solenoid Actuator" on the femm examples page at http://femm.berlios.de/examples.htm. I should have pointed this one out to Matthew, but it slipped my mind.

The ultimate book for the design of solenoidal actuators is:

Herbert C. Roters, Electromagnetic Devices, John Wiley & Sons, 1941.

This is an excellent book, but fairly hard to get ahold of.
