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.

Visualizing velocity & pressure of fluid in Ensight when using two-way FSI

      Hello, i'm solving two way FSI solution and visualizaing the interactive results of transient structure and fluent through the Ensight.

      I studied Reed Valve FSI Co-Simulation in Workbench (Fluent-Mechanical) and Oscillating plate FSI co-simulation with partial setup export from workbench examples in Ansys.

       

      Therefore i was able to visualize Force per unit density arrows and displacement as follows.

       

      However, in my research i want to analysis the change of the velocity and pressure of the fluid with respect to the deforming structure.

      Thus, i have to make the surface which is perpendicular to the surface of the deforming structure to visualize the change of velocity, pressure of fluid and vortex , just like attached photograph.

      However i don't know how to make the surface in Ensight and furthermore, my ensight not showing pressure and velocity data. (it only contains displacement and force data)

       

      Can you describe me 1. How to generate the surface for analysis as like photo(perpendicular one to the surface) 2. how can i obtain vortex, change in pressure and velocity of fluid as time in Ensight.

      Hello,

      Default it will just load the System Coupling results on interfaces. To see all the variables, you have to load the results of both participants in Ensight and it can be loaded as:

       

      1. Load results on Interfaces.
      2. Loading Mechanical results in Ensight: File > Open 

       

      3. Loading Fluent results in Ensight: File > Open 

       

      Also, refer to Postprocessing System Coupling’s Co-Simulation Results (ansys.com) for more information.

      You can create a plane in Ensight using clip option. Please refer following tutorial Creating Parts with EnSight.
      To create a scene as in the image, create a vector plot and pressure contour plot.
