The Coupled Field Static system determines the displacements, stresses, strains, and forces caused by loads that do not induce significant inertia and damping effects. Steady loading and response conditions are assumed. The loads and the responses are assumed to vary slowly with respect to time. The system supports 2D coupled, structural thermal, structural acoustics, and structural electric physics.
This system is configured in Ansys Mechanical, using the Mechanical APDL solver to compute the solution.
To work through a Coupled Field Static system:
To add a Coupled Field Static analysis system, drag the system from the Toolbox to the Project Schematic or double-click the system in the Toolbox.
Once the analysis type is selected, the following prompt displays.
This prompt informs you that you can automatically create a Physics Region (object) in the downstream Mechanical system by selecting physics types in the Setup cell properties. Both the Structural and Thermal properties, as illustrated below, are read-only properties that are always active. The Acoustics and Electric properties are also read-only and are off by default.
To ensure the prompt is not displayed again, select the Do not show me this again check box.
To close the prompt, click .
To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select from the context menu.
To import the model, double-click the Setup cell or right-click the Setup cell and select from the context menu.
In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.
