Hi Peter, Thank you for the suggestions! My goal with this toy model is to make sure I understand the modeling procedure and can correctly simulate saturation behavior in soft magnetic materials. I have a few more details to check, but this seems to be working well. When I have everything sorted out...

Hi Kevin and Peter, Thank you both very much for the help. I modified my geometry so that the center of the coil is the origin. Then it is trivial to get 4 or 8 partitions with the coil in all partitions with -partcell 220 or -partcell 222. Both do solve with a 2x and 3x respective improvement in so...

Thank you. I used ElmerGrid to partition the mesh such that the coil is always entirely in one partition with the same result. I also reordered the partitions such that the coil is always in the first partition with the same result. Picture of two partitions attached. Any other advice would be appre...

Hello, I have been working on a simple electromagnetic model using CoilSolver and MagnetoDynamics. The model solves well serially, but always has a SIGSEGV fault when I execute it in parallel. I don't think it is an issue with my installation as I have solved thermal models in parallel. It also occu...
