contents Accurate electromagnetic (EM) feature extraction, including element characterization, eigenmodes, and field distributions, is essential for superconducting quantum circuit design. To streamline this process, we present a workflow built around Palace, an open-source, high-performance finite element method solver tailored for quantum applications. Starting from circuit layouts, the workflow automates mesh generation, multiple EM solver processing, and EM-to-Hamiltonian post-processing. We benchmark the workflow on a chip with bare resonators and qubits coupled with readout resonators, achieving resonator frequencies prediction within 0.3% and 3 out of 4 external couplings within 16% of cryogenic measurements. These results demonstrate open-source EM tools can match commercial accuracy while offering scalable, license-free analysis. Our Palace-based workflow provides an accessible and extensible foundation for rapid superconducting circuit development and materials-loss studies.
