Depends on what you actually want to simulate...

For finite element method magnetics sims,

  http://femm.berlios.de
  http://quickfield-dot-com

or if you want mixed RF+EM+spice+digital simulations

  http://www.aplac-dot-com

  (Microsim/Orcad pspice 9.2 is better simulations and GUI
  wise but then Aplac includes lots of RF and magnetics design components,
  which pspice doesn't. afaik)

cheers,

  - Jan
