Check out the tutorial at 
http://femm.foster-miller.com/examples/tutor/tutor.htm  Example 2 in the 
tutorial is a coil.

There isn't a 3D version of FEMM available.

Although there are a lot of people who would be willing to help to/ test 
/a 3D code, there aren't enough who want to /develop/ one on a pro bono 
basis to actually get anything going.  I guesstimate that it would take 
on the rough order of $10M in the US to develop an open-source 3D 
version from scratch up to the same level of the completeness and 
useability as the current 2D version, given a team of professional 
developers.
