FSI with SMA (shape memory effect)

      Dear all,
      I want to run a FSI simulation and the solid material is shape memory alloy.
      I can make a fluent module and Transient dynamics module coupling when the solid is steel.
      My problem is I couldn't make a fluent module and Transient dynamics module coupling when I assign SMA material to solid.
      Is it because ansys does not support the fluid-structure interaction of shape memory alloys？

      Any information will be appreacited.
      Thanks!

      Hi 
      here is the list of Mechanical elements supported by FSI with System Coupling, https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v231/en/ans_cou/Hlp_G_COU1_2.html%23loadtransystcoup

      What elements are used by SMA? Check if they are supported by FSI.

      Hope this helps you!
