Add three coupling interfaces, with one for each of the bus bars in the model.
Note: The work flow used in this tutorial — that is, to create all three interfaces before adding data transfers — is arbitrary.
Add the coupling interface for the first bus bar.
Complete one of the following actions:
In the Outline pane, right-click the Setup branch and select Add Coupling Interface.
From the Menu Bar, select >
On the Toolbar, click
.
The Coupling Interface branch is added to the tree, with Coupling Interface 1 defined below it.
Under Coupling Interface 1, expand Side.
Two objects representing the sides of the interface, called One and Two, are defined under Side. Their settings are shown in the Properties pane.
Set the details for side One of the interface.
Set the Coupling Participant to Ansys Electronics Desktop.
Set Region List to bus1, ensuring that no other regions are selected.
Set the details for side Two of the interface.
Set the Coupling Participant to MAPDL Steady-State Thermal.
Set Region List to FVIN_1_bus1, ensuring that no other regions are selected.
Add the coupling interface for the second bus bar.
Complete one of the following actions:
Right-click the Coupling Interface branch and select Add.
From the Menu Bar, select >
On the Toolbar, click
.
Coupling Interface 2 is added to the tree.
Set the details for the sides of the interface as previously, except:
For side one, set the Maxwell participant's Region List to bus2.
For side two, set the Mechanical participant's Region List to FVIN_2_bus2.
Add the coupling interface for the third bus bar.
Complete one of the following actions:
Right-click the Coupling Interface branch and select Add.
From the Menu Bar, select >
On the Toolbar, click
.
Coupling Interface 3 is added to the tree.
Set the details for the sides of the interface as previously, except:
For side one, set the Maxwell participant's Region List to bus3.
For side two, set the Mechanical participant's Region List to FVIN_3_bus3.
