I have watched some tutorials and read Maxwell&#8217;s help, however I am still unable to assign correctly the currents in my model. I have assigned two current on each end of my coil. One is going inside and the other one is leaving the coil. When I request to show the current path the coil doesn&#8217;t exhibit the expected current behavior. I read that the ends of my coil should be in the same plane. I used that approach but it didn&#8217;t work. I am working with magnetostaci &gt; Eddy currents mode<\/p>\n<p>I have a piece of metal on top of my coil and a box of air surrounding all my system. I am assuming the problem is within the main piece.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p> I have tried many things but I always get the same result:&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>*Global &#8211; Messages<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;Maxwell3DDesign1 (EddyCurrent)<\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp; &nbsp; [error] Illegal external terminal &#8216;Current1&#8217;: An external terminal must border the edge of the problem region and coincides with the surface of a 3D object.
