How to link between Maxwell and the ANSYS Mechanical structure in the workbench

  I am trying to simulate Dielectric Elastomer Actuator DEA using ansys workbench togather with Ansys Maxwell. I Did not know how I can import the Maxwell into my mechanical structure and get it to work. As you know that, Maxwell stress expresses the most fundamental equation that characterizes DEA actuation.
  
  P.S. How can I apply cyclic loading to my DEA is it through Maxwell or in the mechanical structure ?

  Hello,
  
  Are you looking to import the geometry? Or are you looking to import the solution obtained in Maxwell?
  
  Thanks.

  Hello,
  
  I am trying to link between my static structural in the ansys workbench with the ansys Maxwell but I can not link them and I can not see my geometry in the Maxwell.
  
  I need to apply Maxwell equations into my hyperelastic material.
  
  I have attached the photo for your reference

  Hello,
  
  Apologies for the delayed response. Could you please see the following video and see if this addresses your issue? The video is talking about coupling between Fluent and Steady-State Thermal. The workflow should be very similar for the Mechanical and Maxwell.

  It has to be the other way around. You first import it into Maxwell, calcualate the initial values. From maxwell you import it into Statix structural and then you have to export the solution back into maxwell using the feedback iterator to compute the solution after a mechanical loadn
