In addition to working as a stand-alone CFD application, Ansys Forte 2024 R2 can also work as a participant of a "coupled simulation" using System Coupling. The coupled simulation can involve multiple Ansys tools to collaboratively solve a multiphysics problem. In a coupled simulation, participants interact with each other via data transfer on the coupling interfaces and make progress on solutions iteratively. The coupled simulation is managed by Ansys System Coupling in a convenient and user-friendly manner.

The main content of this chapter is:

If you are looking for specific examples or applications, in internal combustion (IC) engine simulations, one of the highest-interest areas for System Coupling is Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Analysis. You can use tutorials specifically introducing Forte and System Coupling for such simulations:

Another interesting application of System Coupling is Fluid-Structure-Interaction (FSI) analysis. You may use the following tutorial as an example:
