Coupling Maxwell with Both Ansys Thermal and Structural via Workbench
A Maxwell system can also be coupled with both thermal and stress systems via Workbench. The thermal system then serves as an “up-stream” system for the stress system. This means that the stress analysis takes both electromagnetic and thermal forces into consideration. In this scenario the user must select the same object(s) in the thermal and stress systems to apply the respective imported loads.
To set up the coupling, drag the Solution cell of the Maxwell system and drop it at the Setup cell of a Thermal and Static Structural (Stress) system. The user also needs to couple the Thermal and Static Structural systems to capture the effect of thermal force.
The coupling framework is built on top of the existing Thermal Feedback. The Stress system will have additional Export Definition and Mapping Settings like Thermal.
