  Hi, I'm a new user learning how to conduct thermal-structural analyses using ANSYS. I understand how to complete 1-way coupling using the transient/static thermal/structural blocks; however, I'm still struggling to figure out how to conduct 2-way coupling in ANSYS.
  
  How would I go about conducting 2-way coupling in ANSYS on a solid model upon which thermal and structural loads are being applied?

  Hi Esther,
  To employ a 2-way coupled thermal-structural analysis, select a coupled field system from the list of Analysis Systems in the workbench:
  You will then be able to insert both thermal and structural loads and boundary conditions and the analysis will be fully coupled.
