Coupled Solution

Solution "folder or load case" > Right click > Include "result component"

Introduction

Multi-physics analysis can be performed by mapping results of one Solution to another regardless of mesh difference.

Description

  1. Set the solution or load case where the boundary condition has to be included as current and right click to get the list of result component which can be included as boundary condition.
  2. Then select the respective solution or load case from which the result should be included.
    1. In case the reference solution has result data computed, the boundary condition will be created with the mapped data.
    2. If the result data is not present, the boundary condition will be created without the mapped data. However when the solution is solved, it will solve the reference solution whose results data is to be mapped, then updates the load with mapped results and solve the solution.
  3. The mapped boundary condition can be reviewed by using right click > Show contour option.
  4. Also external result data imported in SimLab will be created as a solution. This result data can also be used to create boundary conditions using the same approach.
