Thanks for the answere, but the question kind of remains. Since the solid conductor is closed, the current will flow in a closed loop as well. How is that different from the current flowing in a winding with just 1 loop?

Also the result is completely different and just wrong if compared to real measurements. It seems that the windings have no impact on the solution at all (even tho the SCs are modeled with eddy current effects). In case of using no terminal the result is very accurate even for multi winding SC-coils (where each winding is actually modeled as a conductor).

This raises the question how a terminal with 0V excitation behaves since it clearly does not behave like the short circuit in this case...
