Access Values of one Field variable into other

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hey all,

I am trying to deform a metal sheet by electromagnetic forces. For this, I have made 2 different models in a single file. 1st model is solving just the electromagnetics (a multi-turn coil generating eddy current in a metal sheet).

Now i just want these magnetic forces to import in second model, where solid mechanics evaluates rest of the things.
There are plenty reasons to model this simple configuration in two different models.

I have tried several model coupling operators like identity mapping etc.
but doesn't work.

Any suggestions, how a field variable can be imported from one model to other.

(note: 1) in my case, both geometries of model 1 as well as model 2 are 2D
2) Geometries of the 2 models are not same except the sheet. In 1st model, sheet has copper coil below it and air surrounding and nothing above it, while in 2nd model, same sheet has just a die above it and nothing else(Not even air).

Thanks in advance.
