I want to simulate a coil placed between two flat parallel metal

Can this be constructed?

David replied:
Problems that FEMM can simulate have to be either axially symmetric 
(e.g. a solenoid, speaker driver, etc.) or approximated as planar 
(e.g. many types of motors). Although your coil may be axisymmetric, 
the entire arrangement isn't axisymmetric--you can't model it directly 
with FEMM.

How about planar mode? Will a 2D slice work?
