Ansys coupled fields-Workbench

[MikeEN77]

Hi;

I am new to Ansys, so my question may sound silly but I would appreciate a reply.
I am trying to couple transient thermal and transient structural in Ansys work bench, but I am not sure what behind the curtain process is. I mean, does transient structural start calculating the response of the system after the system is heated up or while it is being heated up. So to be clear what I am asking is whether transient structural studies the thermoelastic effects while a short pulsed load impacts the sample or else?

Thanks A lot
