Hello, is it possible to observe the temperature changes during motion by performing two-way coupling with Icepak transient and Maxwell Eddy solutions? Can this be done?

Yes, it is possible to observe temperature changes during motion by performing two-way coupling with Icepak and Maxwell. However, motion is not simulated with Maxwell Eddy Current solver but with Magnetic Transient solver (or with Magnetostatic with a parametric run).
The two-way coupling process involves coupling HFSS or Maxwell results into Icepak, which is termed as one-way coupling. If the temperature information from Icepak is then coupled back into the HFSS or Maxwell model which contains temperature-dependent material that may induce additional heat loss and hence additional EM losses, this is termed two-way coupling.

thanks for reply. but another ansys employee told me;

”We will not be able to import the temperature from Icepak/Mechanical thermal at every instant to Maxwell to consider the change in loss becasue of the change in temperature and that too with the change in position. ” 

 /forum/forums/topic/does-maxwell-have-transient-thermal-analysis-with-a-motion-setup/            in this thread. 

and I can’t find any motion setup changing with time in Electronics Icepak. In icepak help manual, only temperature and pressure can be defined with time-dependent data set.

I want to see how much a metallic material temperature changes in a long coil series from the beginning to the end. I can give motion to a material with an icepack parametric setup, but I cannot express this motion with time. For example, if the object has heated a certain amount at the beginning of the coil channel in 100 ms, it has also heated that much at the end of the channel. If I could adjust the change in position over time, I could observe how much it has heated along the channel. In maxwell I can do that with motion set up and band. Does icepak have any setup like that?

When I specify the pwl(ds1,Time) function in Icepak's Edit-Arrange-Move option to give time-dependent motion, the program gives an "intrinsic" error.

I had also tried Maxwell Transient and Icepak Transient two-way coupling. When I conducted the simulation, Icepak could not capture any motion changes from Maxwell. Is it possible to transmit the motion from Maxwell to Icepak with two-way coupling?

Thanks for reply in advance. Best regards.

From my investigation, it seems that the two-way coupling method in AEDT is currently not defined for transient mode, as I mentioned in my previous post. Please correct me if I am wrong. thank you.
