General Limitations
Currently, Coupled Field analyses do not support the following features/capabilities:
Fracture
Solution Combination
Fatigue Combination
Fatigue Tool
Condensed Parts
General Axisymmetric Symmetry
Analysis Type Limitations
- Coupled Field Harmonic
The Coupled Field Harmonic analysis does not support the setting for the Solution Method property and cannot include an upstream pre-stress system.
- Piezoelectric Analysis (Harmonic or Modal)
For a Piezoelectric analysis (Harmonic or Modal), any specifications in the Damping Controls (Analysis Settings) do not contribute to the damping energy or associated losses. Instead, you need to specify damping in the Engineering Data workspace by defining the properties of the Material Dependent Damping group and/or Damping Factors.
- Coupled Field Transient
The Coupled Field Transient analysis does not support the Mode-Superposition (MSUP) solution method. As a result, it cannot be linked to an upstream Coupled Field Modal analysis.
External Model Limitations
Note the following limitations associated with importing data from an External Model system:
You can import structural and thermal data for Coupled Field Static and Coupled Field Transient analyses only.
The lower-order 2D elements is not supported.
Boundary Condition Limitations
Boundary conditions cannot be imported from a Harmonic Response analysis to a Coupled Field Harmonic analysis.
And, when importing data from an External Data system, only the following imported loads are supported:
Imported Heat Flux
Imported Temperature
Imported Body Temperature (Imported Thermal Condition)
