Ensure that the losses generated by Maxwell are the same as those consumed by the Fluent. To verify the application of losses, check System Coupling's Transcript and EnSight-formatted Results files, as described in the following sections:
Review the Sum value recorded for the final coupling iteration to verify that the losses sent by Maxwell match those received by Fluent.

Because Heat Rate is an extensive quantity, you will visualize the application of Maxwell-generated losses per-unit-volume to Fluent's thermal analysis. Use the following variables:
Fluent (elements): heatrate_per_unit_volume__ES
Maxwell (elements): Loss_per_unit_volume__ES
For consistency, adjust the palette ranges as shown in the images below.
