Are the changes of the section of coil conductor regions meshed coils allowed in Flux?

Generally, the changes of the coil section are allowed but there are some geometric restrictions to be respected. Thus, on each volume of the coil region the section should be uniform.

Ex: A coil composed of several volumes (portions). Each volume could have different section but this section should remain uniform throughout the each volume.

If you have to model meshed coils with complex shapes (non uniform section throughout each volume), you have to define the coil as Solid conductor region and then execute the macro VolumeConstraintCreation.PFM in order to neglect the eddy currents computation.
