I have a similar situation myself - related geometries dependent 
on a few variables. So I wrote an Excel spreadsheet "interface" that 
allows me to enter about 5 dimensions, and it creates a page with an 
entire FEMM model file, which I save in ASCII/text format for direct 
opening in FEMM. All materials, properties, boundaries, groups, etc 
are already set in the Excel file. I guess I could call fkern 
directly on this file if I wanted, too. With this I can create the 
new model faster than I can analyze the results!

This is a great time for thanking Dave for keeping the input as 
human-readable text; I wouldn't have been able to do the above 
without it!
