      Application example of a fluid-solid interaction simulation of fluid through a bolted pipe connection with 90 degree elbow. The fluid forces are transferred to the pipe, and stresses in the pipe are calculated. The contact displacement between the bolted connection flanges is also calculated which for this example shows the bolted connection may leak. This project requires release 19.0 or newer.
