Hi,everyone:
I got a problem when reading ANSYS help file. In the coupled-field guide, it talks about when to Use Direct vs. Sequential. 'Direct coupling is advantageous when the coupled-field interaction is highly nonlinear'.
I wonder the meaning of 'highly nonlinear'. Does it means both of the two fields must be nonlinear or just need one of them to be?
