Coupled Field Modal

The Coupled Field Modal system models a structure and the surrounding the fluid medium to determine frequencies and standing wave patterns within a structure. The system supports 2D coupled, 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 Modal system:

  1. To add a Coupled Field Modal 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, Acoustics, and Electric properties, as illustrated below, are read-only properties that are always active. The Acoustics property is also read-only and is off by default.

  2. To ensure the prompt is not displayed again, select the Do not show me this again check box.

  3. To close the prompt, click OK.

  4. To load the geometry, right-click the Geometry cell and select Import Geometry from the context menu.

  5. To import the model, double-click the Setup cell or right-click the Setup cell and select Edit from the context menu.

  6. In the Mechanical application window, complete your analysis using the application's tools and features.
