Ansys Maxwell - Coordinate System Limitations

Click For Summary
Ansys Maxwell has a limitation of defining only 255 coordinate systems (CS) for simulations, which can hinder the modeling of multiple permanent magnets (PM). Users have reported that while new CS can be created beyond this limit, they cannot be assigned to PMs. The issue is primarily associated with older versions of the software. Upgrading to newer versions of the ANSYS Electronics Suite resolves this limitation. Therefore, using updated software is recommended for complex simulations involving numerous coordinate systems.

Hi everybody, I encountered a problem simulation of permanent magnets (PM) in Ansys Maxwell. There are many PM in my simulation and I need to define for each of them a proper coordinate system (CS). But I could only defined 255 CS. After that I can create new CS but It won't be possible to assign it to the PM. Is there any limitation on defining more than 255 CS?

Actually I was able to solve the problem. Older versions have limitations. The problem will be solved by modeling in new versions.
ANSYS Electronics Suite instead of Ansoft Maxwell!

Hello! I want to generate an RF magnetic field at variable frequencies (from 1 to 20 MHz) using this amplifier: https://www.minicircuits.com/WebStore/dashboard.html?model=LZY-22%2B, by passing current through a loop of current (assume the inductive resistance is negligible). How should I proceed in practice? Can i directly connect the loop to the RF amplifier? Should I add a 50 Ohm in series? Thank you!
