) under a or node and refer to a multiphysics coupling under the branch.

This node contains settings for specifying which coupling type the physics interface should be in regard to a coupling feature:

In this section you specify a coupling feature that the parent physics interface can be coupled to by selecting it from the list. The coupling feature can be linked from the same file as the physics interface (by choosing the default from the list), from a built-in package (by choosing from the list), or from an external file (by choosing from the list). Click the button (

) to display a quick menu where you can select a source to add in to the list and use it as the current reference. A dialog box will appear and ask for confirmation if there is already a reference exist in the list. Click the button

to move to the referenced node in the list.

From the list, you specify which coupling type this physics interface is with regard to the coupling that is selected in the section. The list contains the coupling types that you have defined in the multiphysics coupling that this node links to.

In this section, an override type is specified for the coupling feature by first using the list to determine which override rules to use — (the default), , or — and then select a type from the list (see Override Rule for more information). The coupling feature acts as if it were added last in the list of physics features under the physics interface, and overrides the physics features according to this override type. Note that in the coupling feature node itself an override type is also specified. That override type determines how the coupling feature should override other coupling features.
