System Coupling participants are systems that send and/or receive data in a coupled analysis. Supported participant systems for System Coupling in Workbench include:
- CFX
Fluid Flow (CFX) analysis system
CFX component system
For information on using System Coupling with a CFX system, see the following sections in the CFX-Solver Modeling Guide:
- Fluent
Fluid Flow (Fluent) analysis system
Fluent component system
For information on using System Coupling with a Fluent system, see the following sections in the Fluent User's Guide:
- Mechanical
The following analysis systems can participate in coupled analyses:
Coupled Field Static
Coupled Field Transient
Static Structural
Transient Structural
Steady-State Thermal
Transient Thermal
Thermal Electric
For information on using System Coupling with a Mechanical system, see the following sections in the Mechanical User's Guide:
- External Data
External Data component system
For information on using System Coupling with an External Data system, see the following section in the Workbench User's Guide:
Note: The following limitations are placed on the participants of a coupled analysis:
Only two coupling participants can be connected to the System Coupling system at one time. However, more than one System Coupling system may be introduced on the same Project Schematic.
Fluent can be connected with any of the other supported participants.
Coupled analyses are not supported for External Data participant systems that have non-ASCII characters in the following values:
Display names for regions or variables
Data source Identifier (defined in the External Data tab's Outline of Schematic)
Data source Data Identifier (defined in the External Data tab's Table of File)
