Ansoft Maxwell, "cannot apply Current Excitation to non planar entity" error

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on troubleshooting an error in Ansoft Maxwell related to applying current excitation to a non-planar entity after importing a motor design from SolidWorks. Users clarify that a 2D surface is necessary for current assignment, and they suggest creating cross-sections of the geometry to resolve the issue. The conversation also shifts to performance concerns, with one user seeking high CPU power services for simulations due to their computer's limitations. Additionally, participants discuss matrix errors and the importance of defining proper boundaries and terminals for accurate simulation results. The thread concludes with advice on using transient solvers and the significance of setting up windings and terminals correctly for measuring induced voltage.

Nope. Try adding some wires to that coil which would act like a power supply.

what does it mean critical nodes?

please, how did you solve this problem?
