Hello JP,

The automatic volume mesh generator for the ICFD solver in LS-DYNA is designed to create tetrahedral elements for 3D simulations. These tetrahedral elements are indeed 4-node tetrahedrons, which are used to discretize the fluid domain. There is no pressure locking in ICFD.

Regards,

Raman Babu
