v4.2 AC/DC, Maxwell Stress vs. Virtual Work

After working for weeks on trying to solve an assymetric model using Maxwell Stress integration (with no luck), I came across several year+ old threads saying you need a symmetric mesh for Maxwell stresses to be accurate and to use virutal work instead. My mesh can not be sysmmetric (it is a composite beam in bending with elliptical magnetizable particles embedded in a non-magnetic matrix).
OK. Maxwell integration won't work.
Can someone tell me where you access virtual work formulations in version 4.2?
Thanks.
