You can add Multiphysics Coupling nodes (

In this section you specify a coupling feature that the parent physics interface can be coupled to by selecting it from the Link list. The coupling feature can be linked from the same file as the physics interface (by choosing the default Building blocks from the Links from list), from a built-in package (by choosing Built in from the Links from list), or from an external file (by choosing External resources from the Links from list).
From the Coupling type list, you specify which coupling type this physics interface is with regard to the coupling that is selected in the Coupling Feature Link section. The Coupling type list contains the coupling types that you have defined in the multiphysics coupling that this node links to.
In this section, an override type is specified for the coupling feature by first using the Override rule list to determine which override rules to use — Built in (the default), Locally defined, or Imported from external resource — and then select a type from the Override type list (see Override Rule for more information). The coupling feature acts as if it were added last in the list of physics features under the physics interface, and overrides the physics features according to this override type. Note that in the coupling feature node itself an override type is also specified. That override type determines how the coupling feature should override other coupling features.
