Foil Inductor Simulation - Simulation stuck at 55 % progress

Hello, I am trying to simulate a power inductor using foil windings. The core itself is a Kool Mu 60u core (nonlinear) and the windings are made from foil with 14 turns each with a thickness of 0.4mm and breath of 23mm. The distance between each winding is 0.2mm.
I am trying to follow the application from application libraries - inductor_3d, where I am trying to do a stationary solution. The problem I have is the computation of the solution and a large number of DOF (approx 7 million) on my 8GB ram computer. I have also tried solving on a 40GB ram computer where I have simulated over night but the simulation was always stuck at 54-55 %.
Could anybody take a look at my model and see if there could be any improvements to the mesh to reduce the DOF. I have uploaded the .mph file
Would be thankfull for a solution since this is a simulation for my master thesis.
Best Regards
