TL;DR
Getting an error in ANSYS I haven't seen before and do not know why?
I am attempting to solve a rather simple induction problem in Maxwell3D that I have solved before. But this time when I run it I am getting this error and can not seem to find a solution in ANSYS? I am running ANSYS Suite 2020 R1
Message Manager window listing three red error icons under Maxwell3D1 (EddyCurrent): Unable to locate or start COM engine on 'Local Machine': no response from COM engine, timed out, with timestamps Jan 18, 2021.


Thank you in advance if anyone has a possible.

Did you ever get this figured out? I've had the same problem and don't know why.
