COMET: fluid-solid interaction

Mauro Malve

Hallo! I am a phD Student of the University of Karlsruhe. I am trying to perform a Fluid-solid interaction simulation of a valve inside a water duct. The valve is made of rubber. the coupling actually works, and the valve move hiself, but unfortunately only with small deformations. How can I get large deformations of the mesh? As the mesh moves hiself more than two single cells, the geometry break down. and the simulation can not keep on running. I am using the VSMO command, and of course, MOVGR. But it seemed it does not work as it should. Can you help me in anyway? I am looking forward to hear from you. Best regards, Mauro Malve
