i am an mtech student doing my mtech thesis in agard wing flutter analysis .i like to couple between su2 code and fem code of openfoam .is it possible.i need help .which would be the best way to couple them for transient flutter analysis

OpenFOAM is not based on the Finite Element Method (FEM). It solves equations using the Finite Volume Method (FVM), which can be used but it is not commonly used for structural mechanics. You can check the OpenFOAM user guide and do the "Stress analysis of a plate with a hole" (http://www.openfoam.org/docs/user/plateHole.php) tutorial for a first glimpse.
