  I'm trying to import this step into a maxwell 3d project and get the following error:
  
  Project1 (C:/Users/mukym/Documents/Ansoft/)
  Maxwell3DDesign1 (Magnetostatic)
  [error] Import Native Bodies: Translation of "C:/msys/home/mukym/bh/asv/coil/cad/magnet_32_3.stp" failed. (11:26:35 AM Dec 16, 2023)

  Hello I would recommend updating to the latest AEDT version and trying again. If this is not possible I would recommend changing the format of the geometry to a different one and afterwards retrying to import it in Maxwell.

  I'm using Release 2023 R2 (Build: 2023-05-16 22:25:19) student version. Is this perhaps an intentional limitation with the student version?
  I've tried a few different versions of step that my cad package offers, but the result is the same.

  I am having the same issue. I just updated to 2024R1 and the error persists.
