Can electromagnetic forces from Flux be mapped to ANSYS Mechanical?

jy6315

I am working on a motor vibration / structural analysis workflow.

My goal is to compute electromagnetic forces in Altair Flux, and then apply those forces as structural loads in ANSYS Mechanical.

I understand that the standard Altair workflow is usually Flux → SimLab / OptiStruct for motor NVH analysis.

However, I would like to know whether Flux force results can be exported in a way that allows manual mapping to an external structural solver such as ANSYS Mechanical.

My main questions are:

1. Can Flux export electromagnetic force data with node coordinates, force components, and time-step information?

2. Is it possible to use this exported force data to manually create structural loads for ANSYS Mechanical?

3. Is there any recommended Altair workflow for exporting Flux electromagnetic forces for use outside OptiStruct?

Thank you.
