How to workaround a parallel solver failure with an error on “ZIFFLX”?

      For parallel electromagnetic simulations the following or similar error message might occur: Slave: 5 **** Error in subroutine GETDAT ***** Slave: 5 Name of data area requested = ZIFFLX Slave: 5 Size of data area requested = 12 Slave: 5 Size of data area obtained = 36 This error occurs due to an incorrect data size assumption for the scalar E-Pot-equation when before the vector A-Mag-equation has been solved. The behavor will be fixed in release 2020 R1. Workaround is to use a different number of partitions, for example 6 instead of 8 partitions.
