electromagnetic cicuit simulation SOLID117

(OP)
Hello,
my problem is the following: I try to simulate an iron region incl. eddy currents (SOLID117 Keyopt(1)=1) which is magnetised by a solid massive conductor (SOLID117 Keyopt(1)=5). I also use two CIRCU124 Elements as source (Keyopt(1)=4 and 7). The calculation should be in 3D transient.
I did calculations with only one CIRCU124 source element (Keyopt(1)=4) without any problems. But these calculations do not recognize the self-inductance of the model. So I have to use in addition the 2nd CIRCU124 element. But now the GUI-solution of ANSYS is illogical. I estimate it is a problem because of the time-integrated VOLT DOF. Can anybody explain me what are the consequences and the properties respectivly of this special DOF? I also have an error while setting the flag (SF with Lab=MCI).
Error message: Invalid value ( ) on the SFE command for load MCI.                      
  Valid input is "IN,OUT, or -1,+1".
I do not understand this message because I do not use the SFE-command. I use the SF-command. Incredible

Thank you in advance

Michael
