We’re putting the final touches on our new badges platform. Badge issuance remains temporarily paused, but all completions are being recorded and will be fulfilled once the platform is live. Thank you for your patience.

Hello,

Why would you like to use solid226 for your Fluid and Structure Interaction analysis?

If you check this doc link https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v241/en/ans_elem/Hlp_E_SOLID226.html?q=solid226 this element is used to couple structural with thermal/electric analysis. It is not used for coupling structures with fluids.
