If Beta Options are enabled in Workbench, additional options for coupling simulations are possible between Fluent and Ansys Electronics Desktop analysis systems. Note that once Beta Options are enabled in Workbench, you may also have to restart the Fluent application and/or Workbench to proceed with the simulation.
The following table illustrates the current support scenarios for Fluent and Ansys Maxwell coupling.
Table 25.1: Current Supported Scenarios for Fluent and Maxwell Coupling
| Maxwell | Fluent | One-way Support? | Two-way Support? | |
| 1 | Steady | Steady | Yes | Yes |
| 2 | Steady | Transient | Yes | Yes |
| 3 | Transient | Steady | Yes | Yes |
| 4 | Transient | Transient | BETA | BETA |
Note that if Beta Options are disabled in Workbench, then Fluent will not generate the feedback temperature file for Maxwell.
When coupling Fluent with Ansys HFSS or Ansys Q3D Extractor, all of the scenarios are BETA.
