### 13.2.2. Running an MFX Simulation

If `ANSYS MultiField` mode has been used to prepare a CFX-Solver input file, then CFX-Solver Manager can launch the resulting simulation, including starting both CFX and the Mechanical application solvers, and plotting residuals for CFX, the Mechanical application, and the data exchanged between the two. Relevant information can be found as follows:

- See ANSYS Multi-field Run in the CFX-Solver Manager User's Guide for information on launching an ANSYS Multi-field run.

- See Residual Plotting for ANSYS Multi-field Runs in the CFX-Solver Manager User's Guide for information on plotting residuals for the Mechanical application and the exchanged data quantities.

If a CFX-Solver input file has been prepared in `ANSYS MultiField via Prep7` mode, the Mechanical application input file must contain all multi-field commands in order for the simulation to run properly.
