Tested it on Linux it works fine. Switched over to W10, same problem as you. Why, W10 wants to open the file not download it, and W10 doesn't know what a ova file is. On W10 right click on the file instead, go down to the option that says save link as, it then will download and save the file. You ca...

I do not know how to do that for coil solver and MagDyn. I do know how to for StressSolver, displacement, elastic response, etc. Typically a convergence study works, keep refining, is the answer getting better or unchanging. Eventually it will make no appreciable difference and then the mesh is as f...

There is not specific information but the higher the number the more messages are echoed, the lower the number the more important the messages are. The integer value levelnumber indicates the importance of the message, starting from 1 (most important). The maximum level of messages being displayed c...

Check Keywords "Warn" usually placed in the beginning of the input file. When this command is given, the solver outputs warning messages if the input file contains keywords that are not listed in the file of known keywords. If new keywords are introduced, misleading warning messages can be...

I believe that is why a sphere is commonly used.

You could try and specify the components of the field and leave the block un-rotated Boundary Condition 2 Target Boundaries(1) = 2 Name = "Back" Magnetic Field Strength 1 = Real -2500 Magnetic Field Strength 2 = Real -2500 End where the values depend on the rotation of the field in the cube.

The far field boundaries specify the tangential components of the magnetic field H = (1/μ)B and the normal component of current density J = σE′. Your model is in cartesian so the farfield is rotated to the coordinate system. Because of this often you will see the far field as a sphere not a cube. Th...

Elmer may be the only tool. It is certainly the only tool that is open source and free to use. It is definitely the easiest to use and learn,

There are two options. 1. You can set the message level such that you see the result for each iteration and compare it to the convergence criteria. Or if it converges prior to to the max iterations set you know it converged to the criteria. e.g. Elmer out puts 820 0.2350E-06 830 0.2391E-06 840 0.190...

If you do
ElmerGrid 2 2 mesh -autoclean -increase

it works
