No convergence method available in ANYS FSI problems?

acasas · May 10, 2013, 08:54

Hi , I can´t add a convergence method on a FSI problem. A pressure solution from CFX fluid analisis is beeing aplyied over a wing shaped structure as a load. When I try to add the convergence method under solution options in mechanical workbench, this option is not availabe.
If I do supress the imported pressure, and add a simple force load on the tip of the wing shaped structure, then this option is available and I can use this convergence method.
Can someone tell me why?
Thank´s a lot

mmm, don´t understand. Why 2 way? i´ts 1 way in my case.
thank´s

by the way, I see my post have been moved. How to find where? And why it´s beeing moved? I have posted under Ansys forum directory, isn´t the right way to do it?
Thank´s

acasas: Your thread has been moved to CFX forum for one week. Here you will meet wonderful people who are expert in FSI with CFX specially Glenn.

Sorry, I am no expert on FSI. In fact I will admit that I have never done an FSI simulation with CFX as I do not need to in my line of work

But I do know a little about CFD and numerical methods in general and many of the questions asked are simple enough for that.

Sad for me.
Where can I find help for this? Any suggestion?

I am sending you some tuts on FSI using CFX. Hope it will help you.

uploading will take some time around 12-14 hrs

Hi Sijal. Thanks for it.
I do more or less know how to solve a FSI 1 way problem.
But as I told you, my problem now is inside mechanical workbench. If I do apply a pressure solution as a load to my structure, I CAN get the stress over it with no problem. However if I try to use the convergence method for a better automatic mesh refinement on the higly stressed areas, this option does NOT show up. Instead, if I do apply a simple force on the tip of my wing shaped structure and supress the imported pressure, the convergence option does show up.
Any suggestion?
Thank´s

What do you mean by convergence?
