Multiphysics Interfaces and Couplings
The Structural Mechanics Module contains predefined multiphysics interfaces to facilitate easy setup of models with the most commonly occurring couplings. When adding a multiphysics interface, two or more physics interfaces are added to the model, together with one or more multiphysics couplings.
Given that your model already contains two interfaces that support a certain multiphysics coupling, you can also add this coupling separately. Some multiphysics couplings can only be added this way, and are not part of a multiphysics interface.
