Multi-Physics Simulation
Coupled simulation where two or more physics domains (structural mechanics, thermal, fluid dynamics, electromagnetics) interact. E.g., temperature rise causes material property changes, which affects structural strength.
Why it matters
Real products often involve coupled physics, but full coupled simulation is expensive. AI surrogates enable interactive exploration of coupled effects.
