Analysis across multiple physical disciplines
A multiphysics analysis combines several analysis disciplines. This is particularly useful where the different physical effects influence one another. Examples include temperature-dependent material properties in current-carrying conductors, or flow behaviour in changing flow domains.
A multiphysics analysis generally couples at least two of the following disciplines:
- structural simulation
- flow simulation
- thermal simulation
- electromagnetic simulation
- electrical simulation
- multibody simulation
The applications for coupled analysis are wide-ranging, for example:
- sloshing in tanks
- flow-induced vibration of components, e.g. construction machinery in wind
- induction heating
- convective cooling of electronic components
- thermal expansion of components with an inhomogeneous temperature field
- cooling curves for vessels with a cooling medium
- ...
The analyses can be carried out sequentially or with direct coupling.
