Description of the bug

This method in maxwell.py does not work with balloon boundary condition if the simulation is parallelized using HPC settings. Also unit test is missing, which needs to be included for this method for better code coverage.

Steps To Reproduce

To reproduce the bug, run the following example:
from ansys.aedt.core import Maxwell2d m2d = Maxwell2d(version=2025.1, solution_type="TransientXY",new_desktop=False) conductor = m2d.modeler.create_circle(origin=[0, 0, 0], radius=10, material="Copper") m2d.assign_winding(assignment=conductor.name, is_solid=False, current="5*cos(2*PI*50*time)") region = m2d.modeler.create_region(pad_percent=100) m2d.assign_balloon(assignment=region.edges) setup = m2d.create_setup() setup.props["StopTime"] = "2/50s" setup.props["TimeStep"] = "1/500s" m2d.analyze_from_zero() m2d.release_desktop(close_projects=False, close_desktop=False)
