Maxwell-Icepak Two-Way Coupling

  I want to develop a coupled model with Maxwell3D and Icepak. Both cases are transient, and the Maxwell model has the core loss model activated.
  
  I have included the Thermal Modifier condition to some parameters and enabled the Thermal Feedback (in the Maxwell design). In the Maxwell Setup, I chose to save the fields of the last cycle only ( I(t)=I_0*sin(2*pi*f*t) ).
  
  In the Icepak window, I assigned the EM Loss to the body that suffered the losses, and linked it to the Maxwell project losses. For the Icepak setup, I added the "Two-Way Coupling", but it seems like it is not working. After running the Maxwell solution, it goes straight to Icepak and calculates the whole Icepak simulation time (I left the values by default [20 s], it calculates from 0 to 20) without returning to Maxwell, so there is no Two-Way Coupling. Additionally, the simulation does not finish, as the message in the monitor says "Some commands may not have been completed".
  
  How can I solve it?
