What is the difference between Total force from Maxwell and Total force mapped, and the ratio?

      The “Total force from Maxwell” is the total force calculated by Maxwell. The “Total force mapped” is the total force calculated in Mechanical after mapping is done. When the ratio is exactly equal to 1.0, all the force from Maxwell has been mapped to Mechanical accurately without any loss. Usually, you will observe that the ratio is around 1.0 such as 0.98 or 1.01, which shows the mapping is done accurately. If the ratio is significantly less than 1.0, you need to pay attention to the model setup, since most of the force in Maxwell has not been mapped to Mechanical.
