Filling factor is 100% in Maxwell, please adjust the size of coil.

Skin effect is not considered when using stranded winding, please use solid winding.

End effect is not considered in Maxwell 2D, please use Maxwell 3D to simulate the full geometry.

Loss calculated will be a combination of DC resistance as well as AC eddy current loss. Enable eddy effect on selected objects, the AC loss will be considered.
