We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

There are a number of convergence controls, you can try changing following controls:
‒ Default # of Coupling Iteration
‒ Data Transfer Under Relaxation Factor: 1
‒ Perhaps 5 Fluent iterations per Coupling Iteration (for transients), but this is case dependent; Before starting an FSI simulation, you should run separate fluids and structural simulations using representative loads and Use settings that are as close as possible to the planned FSI simulation.
‒ A Time Step Size based on the physics you need to resolve
• 1/20th of the oscillation period corresponding to the highest structural frequency of interest
• Flow field Courant number etc.

Hope this helps!
