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

In EnSight, visualize the application of Fluent-generated temperatures to Maxwell's electromagnetic analysis. Use the following variables:
For Fluent (nodes), drop temperature__ES on Fluent's magnet region.
For Maxwell (elements), drop Temperature__ES on Maxwell's Magnet 1 and Magnet 2 regions.
The target (surface) mesh is obtained by averaging the source (volume) mesh. This may cause a difference in the ranges if there are spatially varying temperature values in the source mesh along the normal direction of the target mesh.
For consistency, adjust the palette ranges as shown in the image below.
