Coupled-field analysis
A coupled-field analysis is an analysis that takes into
account the interaction (coupling) between two or
more disciplines (fields) of engineering.
The procedure for a coupled-field analysis depends
on which fields are being coupled, but two distinct
methods can be identified sequential and direct.

Sequential
First do a steady state thermal analysis
Direct Method
The direct method usually involves just one analysis that
uses a coupled-field element type containing all
necessary degrees of freedom.
Coupling is handled by calculating element matrices or
element load vectors that contain all necessary terms.
An example of this is a piezoelectric analysis using
the SOLID5 PLANE13, or SOLID98 elements.
Direct Method
Direct method usually involves just one analysis that
uses a coupled field element type containing all
necessary degrees of freedom

T2 | Coupled Analysis
This example will demonstrate how much heat can be
applied to create desired amount of radial deflection of
inner surface of outer cylinder to accommodate inner
cylinder.
Inner cylinder: Ri = 4 and RO = 5+0.025
Outer Cylinder: Ri = 5 and RO = 7. Find out radial
deflection at inner surface (Radius 5 unit)
