Reply To: Hydrostatic Equillibrium and material deformation in S-ALE FSI

[Abhemanyu Palaniswamy Chandrasekaran]

Dear Ian, 

Thank you for the reply. I think I did not explain myself very well in the first post.

The hull deformation is unrealistic in the example file too.

Unfortunately, I am now unable to access the example files

 

 

I have changed the following keywords. They make no difference to the setup of the original file.

*CONSTRAINED_LAGRANGE_IN_SOLID ----> *STRUCTURED_FSI

*INITIAL_VOLUME_FRACTION_GEOMETRY ---------> *STRUCTUED_MESH_VOLUME_FILLING

*ALE_MULTI-MATERIAL_GROUP-------->*STRUCTURED_MULTI-MATERIAL_GROUP

To change the structure to a rigid body, Only the material definition was changed from ELASTIC to RIGID.

 

It would be very helpful if there are some other simple examples of objects floating in hydrostatic equilibrium, just to verify if my FSI setup is correctly modelled.

 

Regards

Abhemanyu
