Jan, if you want a really accurate answer then a 3D solver is your friend for this type of work. Pick any of the commercial tools and you ought to be able to get a reasonable result. If you are willing to put up with the UI, the free FFS programs FastCap and FastHenry should be able to get you close. Of late I have spent most of my time with Simbeor.
