I am working on a two-way FSI simulation in ANSYS, where I aim to drive the fluid behavior using structural motion or deformation. Specifically, I am modeling a scenario where:

1. The structural motion or deformation of a ball bearings is the primary driver of the Lubricant fluid flow.

 

Most of the videos/post/help, I have seen so far as the Fluid Dynamics as the Driving Factor (eg: water flowing in Statioary pipe, Air flow around Aerofoil, etc).

Is it possible to model the scenario in Ansys (Mech-Fluent 2 way FSI)...where I give rotational Velocity to Ball bearing and this will cause my stationary Lubricant fluid (between Ball and Races) to move in Fluent.

Does Ansys have any limitations in this regard?

TIA
