Ensure that the losses generated by Maxwell are the same as those consumed by the Mechanical. 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 Mechanical.

In EnSight, visualize the application of Maxwell-generated losses to Fluent's thermal analysis. Use the following variables:
Mechanical (nodes): Heat_Rate_Density__NS
Maxwell (element centroids): Loss_per_unit_volume__ES
For consistency, adjust the palette ranges as shown in the image below.
