Error - Failed to find a solution. Auxiliary space Maxwell Solver is only applicable for edge finite elements. Returned solution is not converged.

When I tried to compute a study which including calculating the magnetic flux density norm after assigning a current density to a block of dimensions 200 microns, 3 microns and 0.00342 microns, I got this error - Failed to find a solution.
Auxiliary space Maxwell Solver is only applicable for edge finite elements.
Returned solution is not converged.
However, when I changed the length from 200 microns to 100 microns, the error got resolved. How can I compute the study with length 200 microns by resolving this error?

Hello,

This error message does indeed appear to be an unusual. To address this we would need to see the file in question.

There is, however, one apparent issue in your description. You have a geometry of 200 x 3 x 0.00342 um. The aspect ratio here is almost five orders of magnitude and whenever you have such extreme aspect ratios you should really look to making some kind of simplification or approximations. Either replace the domain condition with a boundary condition, or consider if you can reduce the problem to a 2D model. This is generally true, regardless of the physics that you're working with.

Best Regards,
