Extrusion coupling confusion

I am confused as to how to use the linear extrusion model coupling to link the variables from one model to another within the same file. In this simplified example I am trying to figure out the process to use the coupling function. I am trying to make out-of-plane flux from one cube of steel dependent on the temperature field of another.
1) linear extrusion (linext1) maps variables from model1 to model2
2) the "Out-of-Plane Heat Flux 1" node in the heat transfer physics of model two then uses the temperature from model1 to calculated out of plane heat flux
I cannot figure out from the manuals how to implement this correctly. Feel free to tell me im an idiot. (:

I figured it out on my own. I used general extrusion instead of linear. I also figured out the syntax for the operation. Included is the file with everything working. The out-of-plane flux of one 2d model is linked to the other and vice versa. A 3d model is included in order to prove to myself that i did it right.
