Thanks for the reply! I'll have to look into that software to see if it will do what I need it to. I'd like to use the analytical formulas, but since I'm trying to find force outside of the coil, I doubt they would work.

I am trying to build a simulator for designing a mass driver. What I am essentially doing is given an iron rod and a coil of wire, calculate the force on the iron rod at various positions along the coil axis. Ideally, I want to use the various forces to calculate the final velocity of the rod...
