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.

Hello Audy, 

The short answer is no. When doing 2-way FSI, fluent will pass forces to the structural solver, which will pass back displacements to Fluent. This is done on each cell face in the system coupling interface. Hence, I am not sure which displacement exactly you would want to apply on the Rigid Body zone.

Is there a reason why you want to preserve the zone around the Deck Zone as a rigid body? 

As you have stated, the Rigid Body Zone is meant to assign a prescribed motion to an entire cell zone.
