Problem with Ansys Maxwell "current leak to the air"

AI Thread Summary
The user is experiencing a "current leak to the air" error while simulating an electric plasma arc in Ansys Maxwell, specifically in a tip-to-tip configuration. They have set the vacuum region to 50% from the sides but continue to face the same issue despite refining the mesh. Questions posed in the discussion include the voltage being applied and the effectiveness of the vacuum in the simulation. Additionally, there is a reference to the Paschen Curve, suggesting that achieving accurate results may depend on understanding this relationship. Assistance is sought to resolve the current leak issue in the simulation setup.

Hi everyone, I am currently trying to simulate an electric plasma arc (tip to tip configuration), same as the one shown in the picture here, I made the vacuum region such as it is 50% from the sides, and touches the current in and out region
However when I run the analysis, I am getting the following error "current leak to the air"
Anyone can help me figure out what the issue might be and how to fix it? I tried a more refined mesh too, same issue
any tip is appreciated I am still new to maxwell

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'

I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...

Thread 'EMF (Electromagnetic Field) & EHS (Electromagnetic Hyper Sensitivity)'

Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
