Rajan: I do not have an example easily available. However, VM171 in the Verification Manual is a magneto-structural simulation of a magnetic switch. A discussion of the model and the input listing is provided in the Verification Manual. Section 6.6 of the ANSYS "Coupled-Field Analysis Guide" discusses directly coupled magneto-structural analyses. ANSYS has one 2D(PLANE13) and three 3D(SOLID5, SOLID62, and SOLID98) elements capable of performing directly coupled, magneto-structural analyses. SOLID5, PLANE13, and SOLID98 are general purpose, coupled-field elements, so you need to activate the proper DOFs with the KEYOPT settings. SOLID62 is specialized magneto-structural element. PLANE13 and SOLID68 use the vector potential formulation and can be used for static and transient analyses. SOLID5 and SOLID98 use the scalar potential formulation and can be used only in static analyses.

I tried sequential 3-D but I want to do direct coupled.
