Create the System Coupling Region

A System Coupling Region defines the interface where data will be exchanged during the execution of the co-simulation. This is where Mechanical generates temperatures and sends them to Maxwell and receives the losses generated and sent by Maxwell.

Create the interface on the region in the structural model that will receive loss data from the electromagnetic analysis via System Coupling.

  1. In Mechanical's Outline, right-click Transient Thermal (A5) and select Insert > System Coupling Region.

    A System Coupling Region is added to the tree.

  2. Scope the coupling region:

    1. In Mechanical's toolbar, select the Body icon ( ).

    2. In the Geometry view, select the core body.

    3. In Details of "System Coupling Region" under Scope, click the Apply button.

      The Geometry setting updates to 1 body, indicating that the interface has been created on the selected body.
