2. Electric Arc Modeling

System Coupling enables modeling of electric arc propagation by coupling Ansys Fluent and Ansys Electronics Desktop. System Coupling facilitates the exchange of heat losses, Lorentz forces, electrical conductivity, and temperature between these solvers in a coupled analysis workflow.

The following improvements have been made this release:

  • Added support for explicit coupling participants.

  • Enabled restarts for arc modeling simulations.

  • Enabled geometry motion for arc modeling simulations.

  • Added co-simulation parameters to C library interfaces to enable Fluent to consume parameter APIs
