Reply To: Hydraulic fracturing Simulation using FSI

Hi

I doubt very much that this is possible to do (2 way FSI with crack growth).

Also Sandstone uses or should use some form of Drucker or Mohr Nonlinear material model, which are not applicable with Smart Crack Growth which only supports Material behavior that is linear elastic isotropic.

Think this type of analysis is very complex and needs a tailored 'inhouse' solution as perhaps this one:

All the best
