Reply To: Fluid structure interaction highly distorted elements

[smm9886]

Many thanks, for your prompt replies to my questions. It seems my elements are SOLID 186, 187. I could learn a bunch of possible solutions that might help me to overcome the highly distorted element error. I am trying to apply them one by one, though it is too time-consuming to run an FSI model.
Out of curiosity, is it normal to take 2 weeks to run an fsi model with a workstation of 16-core and 32 GB ram? I am reading about it on the internet, it seems I shall switch to a modal-transient analysis rather than a fully transient one. I will be happy if you can please tell me something about this.
Grazie mille!
