What are Multiphysics

BeforeLack of powerful computational resourcesPhysical problems used to be modeled separatelyFor example

Heat transfer modelElectromagnetism model

Not both issues at the same time

NowadaysComputers allow to carry out more complicated tasksMore complex models can be builtFor example

Interaction between structures and fluidsJoule heating with thermic expansion
