A question about ansoft maxwell 3D 11.1 design

In summary, the conversation is about a user needing help with modeling a coil on Maxwell 3D for transient analysis. They have 6 coils connected in a star configuration and 3 current sources also in a star configuration. The user is struggling with defining the coil terminals and has received an error message when trying to validate their design. They have tried searching for solutions online and are looking for any tutorials or guidance on how to define coil terminals. They also apologize for any language barriers. The solution suggested by another user is to use the "F" button to select object faces and define an insulating band for each coil individually to avoid lumping the material definitions together.

hi all,

i need some help about modeling a coil on maxwell 3D(transient analysys.).my problem is defining coil terminals.i have 6 coils(star connected) and 3 current source(star connected).i attached my work.coils are solenoid style winded.(ring style winding) and each coil has 130 turn.i design my model,i upload external circuit netlist to maxwell then i got this error when i validate my design..(by the way i try to do my analysys on transient solution type.)

"[error] Verify conduction path 'Path2': For any conduction path that has coil terminal excitation(s) specified, either exactly one internal coil terminal or two external coil terminals should be specified."

i have google it but i got nothing...
any turtorial/manual or lecture notes??or any idea how to define coil terminals?

sorry for my bad english.

Hit the "F" button on your keyboard to select object faces. Then select each coil individually and define an insulating band. The material definitions are too close in conduction properties. Maxwell is lumping them all together.
