Hello,

I am working on a project where I'm simulating a wing inspired by those of dragonflies.
So the wing is flapping and deforming. The flapping motion will be created by some sort of actuator.

I know how to do 2-Ways FSI with fluent, and I know how to use basic UDF to move a rigid body.
However, I don't know how I could simulate the fact that the wing is actionned by an external force/displacement (like I did for rigid body with the UDF) while taking in account the flexibility of the wing, its effect on the air and the effect if the air on it.
I tried a few things but it didnt work.

Does anyone have an idea ?

Thank you in advance
