Reply To: Why is Two-Way Coupling in Ansys Icepak-Maxwell not supported for Transient?

[Reshmi Raghavan]

Hello Sung,

The need for a transient two way coupled analysis depends on the application.

For applications where the electrical time constants is less than the thermal time constants we dont have to couple the two physics at every instant of time. But transfer the steady state loss to thermal for temperature prediction. 

But if you are working on applications where the temperature rise is quick ,we do have option for system coupling. 

System coupling approach helps you in trasnfering the load between the electromagenetic and thermal solver at defined intervals of time.
