    In short...what is the correct value? -1.88e-3Nm or 9.47e-3Nm

    This model uses "circuit" properties to define the currents in the
    coils. Remember that the program only understands regions that are in
    parallel, not series. If you just use mirroring to create the other
    half, you'll add regions in parallel, halving the current in the
    coils. The overall result would be as you'd described.

    At any rate, I realize that the way that the currents are defined with
    the "circuit" properties is confusing, and I'm head-scratching about
    the right way to redo this functionality in the program so that the
    construction and connectivity of coils is done better and in a more
    intuitive way.

    Dave.
