I did similar thing. To speed-up the process of selecting and rotating
circular geometry i wrote simple small C programm which read *.FEM file,
do some calculations on it (only rotation at this time) and write results
into another *.FEM file.
It can also 'rotate' angular offset of magnetization.

Program parameters:
FEMM_ROT.EXE infile outfile angle radius [-i|o] [-m]
infile - name of input file (*.FEM)
outfile - name of output file (*.FEM)
angle - angle of rotation (in degrees)
radius - radius of boundary between static and rotational points
[-i|-o] - defines which points to rotate (inside or outside of radius)
default is inside
[-m] - rotate angles defined in materal properties also
default is no


But it supports only FEMM v.2 data files (tested on v.2.1a).

I can send this program including source code if there is any interest.

It should be easy implemented in BAT file using:
START /WAIT ...
