SubscriberHello everyone,
I am using LS-DYNA ICFD for hemodynamic simulations.
I would like to implement a purely resistive outlet boundary condition (i.e., only R2, with R1 = C1 = L1 = 0). However, the solver diverges when I set C1 = 0 (division by 0 not allowed)
Is there a way to define a purely resistive model at the outlets using the available WTYPE circuit options in the card?
If not, could you clarify how WTYPE = 6 works, particularly regarding the use of the "icfd_usercircuit" in the file dyn21icfd.f?
Thank you in advance for your help.
Best regards,

Ansys EmployeeHello
As you say it divides by zero so not good to set C1=0 – but it should perhaps remove it from equations – will get back on that.
Or perhaps try this just use R1 and C1>>>0 (very large comapred to Q), and L1=0. We get then :
Q=P/R2 which is like pure resistance. But might not be the best as it might introduce issues.
Try it out and let us know if you get this res. beh.Thank you
