Use the Temperature Coupling multiphysics coupling (
) to add the temperature as the default model input for a standalone physics interface.
The Temperature Coupling feature is generic and specifies a Heat Transfer interface as
Source and a second interface as
Destination. When
Temperature Coupling feature is used, the temperature from the
Source is used to evaluate material properties in any feature from the
Destination interface. The coupling can be added wherever the Heat Transfer interface is active.
The Source interface can be any interface defining a temperature, which includes all versions of heat transfer and multiphysics, except the pure radiation interfaces.
The Destination interface can be any interface providing multiphysics feature in the
Multiphysics Couplings node — for example,
Electric Current or
Solid Mechanics.
See Coupled Interfaces in the
COMSOL Multiphysics Reference Manual for more details about this
multiphysics coupling.
