To import CFD data to MAPDL follow the procedure: 

  1. Connect your Fluent solution cell to the MAPDL setup cell.

  1. Double-click the Setup cell to open Mechanical. By default, an Imported Load folder is added under the Environment folder.

Target mesh import issue could be due to the incorrect selection of the CFD surface/scope's geometry. Mapping is required to pass data from a source mesh to a target mesh.

Make sure FSI interfaces on fluid and solid sides overlap. Ideally, both fluid is extracted from the solid, i.e. the same source geometry.
