A coupled-field analysis usually involves applying results data from one analysis as loads in a second analysis. For example, you can apply the nodal temperatures calculated in a thermal analysis as body loads in a structural analysis (for thermal strain). Similarly, you can apply magnetic forces calculated in a magnetic field analysis as nodal forces in a structural analysis. To apply such coupled-field loads, use one of the following: Command(s): LDREAD
GUI: Main Menu> Preprocessor> Loads> Define Loads> Apply> load type> From source
Main Menu> Solution> Define Loads> Apply> load type> From source
See the Coupled-Field Analysis Guide for details about how to use this command in different types of coupled-field analyses.
