Hello,
Lets fix the mapping issue first. Both interfaces have mapping < 100%.
To have a good mapping between the participant interfaces:
- Make sure FSI interfaces on fluid and solid sides overlap. The recommendation is to use the solid geometry for fluid volume extraction (the same source geometry).
- Meshes used should first resolve geometry curvature and physics (e.g. flow gradients, stress concentrations).
- For conserved quantities (force, heat flow) the coarser target mesh is acceptable. Similar mesh on both interfaces is also acceptable but not required.
- For non-conserved quantities such as displacement and temperature, finer target mesh is preferred (ex. CFD mesh is usually finer than Mechanical).
