Error when running qiskit-metal\docs\tut\4-Analysis\4.02-Eigenmode-and-EPR.ipynb

Information

Qiskit Metal version: 0.1.2
Python version: Python 3.8.16
Operating system: Windows 10.0.19044

What is the current behavior?

I am running the Eigenmode demo from qiskit-metal\docs\tut\4-Analysis\4.02-Eigenmode-and-EPR.ipynb. I am using a new installation of Ansys Electronics Desktop 2022R1. When I run the notebook from a fresh clean kernel I get an error on the cell with

eig_qb.sim.run(name="Qbit", components=['Q1'], open_terminations=[], box_plus_buffer = False)
eig_qb.sim.plot_convergences()

The output looks like:

Steps to reproduce the problem

Install Qiskit following https://qiskit.org/documentation/metal/installation.html Copy the qiskit-metal\docs\tut\4-Analysis\4.02-Eigenmode-and-EPR.ipynb to your project. Run jupyter lab with the qiskit kernel and try to run this notebook.

What is the expected behavior?

That it would run the analysis in HFSS and return it to the jupyter notebook.
