Hello, I made two transient simulations for my transformer ("load" and "no load" operation state) in same Maxwell window.

My question is, if I want to map one of them ("load" state) in Fluent, will the software ask me which operating state I want to attach, or do these two simulations have to be handled completely separately in Workbench? I want to make only one steady-state thermal analysis about the "no load" state to see the temperature distribution, and I would use the other one for the Fluent.

Question 2: When I attach a transient Maxwell simulation to another module in Workbench, does the other modul (Fluent, Mechanical etc.) consider the maximum values ​​or something else? Can I set it to calculate maximum loss values?

Thank you very much!

Hello 

I recommend going over following tutorials in the Ansys documentation that shows a Fluent-Maxwell coupling.
Permanent Magnet Electric Motor Co-Simulation (Maxwell-Fluent) (ansys.com)
Bar-and-Coil Induction Heating Co-Simulation (Maxwell-Fluent) (ansys.com)

Also, refer to user guide for more information about fluent-Mechanical coupling: 2.22. Performing Fluent and Maxwell Coupling in Workbench (ansys.com)

Electromagnetics (EM) - Mechanical Data Transfer (ansys.com)

Hope this helps!
