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

In EnSight, visualize the application of Mechanical-generated temperatures to Maxwell's electromagnetic analysis. Use the following variables:
Mechanical (nodes): Temperature__NS
Maxwell (elements): Temperature__ES
The palettes ranges are very similar and do not need to be adjusted, as shown in the image below.
