ANSYS EMAG SOLID97+CIRCU124

(OP)
Hello there, need help with circuit-coupled harmonic analysys... badly (
Got a task to model an 3d induction heating furnace e/m field (educational purposes).
Havent worked with ANSYS before that at all. Decided to start with a 1/4 symmetry model of the inductor coil. Just the inductor and the air. Done some research at help topics. And as a result:

/batch,list
/prep7

r1=0.054
r2=0.064
l=0.05
n_coil=20
fill=0.8
cs=(r2-r1)*l
pi=2*asin(1)
vol=pi*(r2*r2*l-r1*r1*l)

The problem is that i cant debug that model, but everything seems to be correct - it just doesnt solve at all. No flux lines, no current density, all by zero.

Got the right element types, got the right real constants, geometry, attached the k-node of CIRCU124 element to the FEA, got AZ=0 at model far posts, applied voltage to I and J nodes of the CIRCU123 element.

One moment where i could have been mistaken - is the local coordinate system (required for the r1 consant) definition.

So can you please write down an code example of the right definition?

The second moment im not sure in is - is it enough symmetry definition that is described in the SOLID97 real constant (csym,care)?

While solving ansys shows a note that "COefficient ratio exceeds 1.0e08". How Can this tip me to the solution?

And finally - when doing an circuit coupled analysys like this one - is it enough to apply the loads at the nodes of CIRCU element (ground node and 380 V node) and the loads will be transfered to the SOLID97 fea element?

Please, if you can help with that problem, ill appreciate that a lot, because got noone around here to give me a tip.
