I'm very glad to know someone also interesting in FEM calculating. I don't know what method you used for calculating inductance. If you use the result potential A without do field smoothing, the only choose is to use the energy form of inductance, and there still have other cases that may be cause you lost accuracy, like the skin depth effect calculating, etc. Well I'm also interesting in this subject.

It was the file "femmviewDoc.cpp" in the "femmview" project. The main functions which do field smoothing calculate and interpolate jobs should be:  GetElementB(); GetNodalB();
GetPointValues();
