  Hi @ma560nWhich solution type are you using in Maxwell?nIterative solvers are supported in 3D- magnetostatic, electrostatic solvers, and eddy current solvers.nTo enable the iterative solver:n1. On the Solution Setup dialog box Solver tab, check the Enable Iterative Solve check box. This enables the Relative Residual input field.n2. Enter a value for the Relative Residual. The residual measures the convergence of the iterative solver. The default value is 1e-6 for the magnetostatic and electrostatic solvers and 1e-4 for the eddy current solver.nRefer to the Maxwell help section for more details.nnRegards,nNavyan

  HinI was wondering if I can use a direct solver (I'm using maxwell 2D and 3D depending on the problem in hand)n
