MrAnderson New Member Join Date: Sep 2010 Posts: 11 Rep Power: 15	Dear All, I am working with fluid-structure interaction (fsi). I will simulate a cantilever (beam) which is able to deform in a open waterchannel when the fluid flows around/on the beam. I've made the fluidmesh in ICEM with a hole representing the cantilever. Now, I want to be able to extract the structure mesh, i.e. the hole filled with the same mesh size as the surface of the beam from the fluidmesh. I've tried for a while, and,no matter what I do, ICEM always ends up with meshing both the interior of the fluiddomain and the beam. I am looking forward to all kind of help! Thanks!
