Hi Kaushal,

 

  1. I am performing modal acoustics analysis
  2. The goal is to see the modes for a fluid sloshing inside a spherical diaphragm tank. See Image attached from [Sabaghzadeh, 2021]. The fluid is modeled using FLUID221 acoustics elements and the rest of it is solid. As you can see there is a large gap between the diaphragm (inside the tank) and the tank upper half. The other side of the diaphragm (lower side) is filled with fluid. So I am trying to create a contact between the diaphragm upper surface and the tank upper half section so that the diaphragm does not go out of the tank in any of the modes.
