I created the attached 3D item and I was trying to run it, but I am getting the illegal external terminal. I did some research regarding this and from what I read was that the excitation has to be either a closed loop or start&amp;stop. I need to create deflection on the rod with the design I created. The coil consist of 1551A and I created the current as shown below and for each current I set it up with the same value (1551 A). I also tried swapping the direction, but I still get the same error. I am not sure If I should use a different method or if I should use a different face (maybe the sides?)<\/p>\n<p>any assistance would be greatly appreciated it<\/p>\n<div class=\"embedExternal embedImage\">\n<div class=\"embedExternal-content\">\n<a class=\"embedImage-link\" href=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/123\/FVBKVHBREC05.png\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><br \/>\n<img decoding=\"async\" class=\"embedImage-img\" src=\"\/forum\/wp-content\/uploads\/forum-uploads\/123\/FVBKVHBREC05.png\" alt=\"Capture2.PNG\" \/><br \/>\n<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-160454","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-3-d-model","topic-tag-coil","topic-tag-current-excitations","topic-tag-eddy-current-solver","topic-tag-eddy-currents"],"aioseo_notices":[],"acf":[],"custom_fields":[{"0":{"_bbp_author_ip":[""],"_bbp_view_count":["236"],"_bbp_likes_count":["0","0"],"_bbp_forum_subforum_count":["0"],"_btv_view_count":["2443"],"_bbp_subscription":["257468"],"_bbpmt_movedon":["2022-07-01 17:07:05"],"_bbpmt_movedfrom":["151970"],"_bbp_topic_status":["unanswered"],"_bbp_status":["publish"],"_bbp_topic_id":["160454"],"_bbp_forum_id":["27793"],"_bbp_engagement":["94","212394"],"_bbp_voice_count":["2"],"_bbp_reply_count":["3"],"_bbp_last_reply_id":["185844"],"_bbp_last_active_id":["185844"],"_bbp_last_active_time":["2021-07-23 02:49:16"]},"test":"elramirencsu-edu"}],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160454","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics\/160454\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/innovationspace.ansys.com\/forum\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=160454"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
