Hi Kavatar,

The Ohmic loss will be the quantity we pass from Maxwell to Fluent.

There are 2 “automatic paths” to pass the information. One is using Workbench Platform. Here you can drag&drop the Maxwell solution into the Fluent setup.

The other option is to transfer the losses using System Coupling. In this case I would suggest following this workshop:

The mesh cannot be shared between Maxwell and Fluent because the mesh quality needed to obtain good results is different. But if you follow any of the above options you do not need to worry about mesh interpolation.
