Review Displacement in the Transcript

Review the Weighted Average values recorded for the Displacement transfer to verify that the displacements sent by Mechanical match those received by Fluent.


Tip:  For cases run using System Coupling in Workbench, you can review the Transcript's Coupling Interfaces section to determine the quantity associated with each data transfer. For this tutorial, Data Transfer and Data Transfer 2 are the Force and Incremental Displacement transfers, respectively.
