This two day course will teach attendees how to approach different Fluid Structure Interaction (FSI) problems using SC/Tetra and Abaqus. General information and overview about FSI simulations will be discussed followed by the technical content that will enable the attendee to set-up and solve FSI problems. The course will include step by step instructions on how to set up a two way FSI problem using SC/Tetra and Abaqus. A separate discussion will be dedicated to identifying the important steps needed to verify the accuracy of an FSI simulation. The course will be concluded by providing a hands-on workshop where attendees will be given specific instructions and encouraged to complete the setup for a second FSI problem.
