Hi
I want to coupling multibody dynamic of rigid body to cfd for simulation of a steam engin. I draw my assembly of steam engin that include piston, rotary valve and crank and fly wheel. Can simulate this dynamic and kinematic of this engine by a steam flow??
Have yow know any software to easy with this simulation??
Sory for my english
Thank

This is likely too complicated to simulated without the use of a large supercomputer (see Top 500). Also, you're likely able to do these as individual analysis that pass information back and forth to each other.

Can you explain more. Now what do i do?? What is top 500??
Thank

I'd recommend looking into simpler and less computationally intensive tools. This is a huge task involving many sets of complicated physics such as two-phase flow, structural dynamics, heat transfer. How have steam engines been traditionally analyzed?

Top 500 is a nifty list of the worlds biggest supercomputers. https://www.top500.org/ It is where a lot of the CFD tools are used on. I bought it up as example that what you're asking to do is a bit large of a task.
