Verify the Application of Mechanical-Generated Temperatures

Ensure that the temperatures generated by Mechanical are the same as those consumed by Maxwell. To verify the application of temperatures, check System Coupling's Transcript and EnSight-formatted Results files, as described in the following sections:

 

Review Temperatures in the Transcript

Review the Weighted Average value recorded for the Temperature transfer in the final coupling iteration to verify that the temperatures sent by Mechanical match those received by Maxwell.

Visualize Temperature Results in EnSight

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
