solidProperties mystery
Hello,
I am trying to run an FSI simulation and in my process to getting there I am trying to understand the solid mechanics part of it. However despite a lot of searching I have barely found any information on the solidProperties dictionary. Please can somebody please explain the solid properties dicitonary and its entries as well as the different solid models available? Also does the solid model chosen have any bearing on if you need to include pointD and pointDD in the 0 folder? Thank you in advance Merlin |
Hello,
Your question is general. First you should look at the code, that where the solidProperties dictionary calles. then explain your question. Quote:

Sorry for the general nature of the question it is because of my limited knowledge of the solidProperties dictionary and hence I am not exactly sure of the extent of what I do not know, if that makes sense.
1. I understand the solidModel prefix 'uns-' stands for unstructured but does this refer to the mesh being unstructured and so are these solidModels reccomended when using an unstructured mesh? 2. What is the difference between a 'totalLagrangian' model and an 'updatedLagrangian' model? 3. What is the difference between having the increment displacement or the total displacement as the primary unknown? Is the difference only noticed when post processing and analysing the results or must some simulations choose a specific one? 4. Do you determine which of D, DD, pointD and pointDD are required in 0 by reading the .C file in src/solids4FoamModels/solidModels? 5. What are the benefits of a block coupled solution over a segregated solution? I hope that is slightly less general, and I would appreciate anyones time if they can answer them. Best regards Merlin |

Trick: rename all D,DD,pointD,pointDD and run the each solid model. the solver give error and write each require file. Quote:
