How accurate is ANSYS-Maxwell?

[PhiowPhi]

I've been using this software for a while for various problems/projects, but never actually experimented based on a simulation, and compared the simulation data vs. actual data.
I would love to get input of how accurate is this software is in-comparison to others like COMSOL/LISA?

This article in science direct gets into an analysis of it.

From what I’ve read a lot of industry engineers use it to model their systems so it must be pretty good.

If you are looking for a semi-real world project for Maxwell, look at this thread. It has to do with rewinding a non-symmetric alternator on a motorcycle.

Ther has been much diverse speculation as to the 'correct' approach but no one has come up with a definitive answer or done a simulation. If you decide to tackle this, note that there are several pertinent details scattered throughout the thread.
