Coupled Physics Capabilities: Methods • There are two methods to couple physics, Direct & Sequential. • Direct - solves all DOF’s at the FEA coefficient matrix level. • Sequential - solves DOF’s for one physics then passes results as loads & boundary conditions to the second physics. At least two iterations, one for each physics, in sequence, are needed to achieve a coupled response. • There are many confusing terms for the two methods: Multiphysics 8.0 Customer 3.0- 1/30/04
