Mesh for FSI problem

BiomechanicsBath · November 25, 2017, 04:49

Hi there

I have a very wild geometry for my FSI problem and was wondering how to best go about getting my mesh.
Can I create my solid and fluid domain independently and it will manage to link automatically?
I have a mesh file (.msh) but different domains will just become one domain when using fluentToOpenfoam. And creating an openfoam mesh directly using simpleware does the same thing. Which doesn't help when particularly trying to solve a FSI problem.

Could really use some help here.

Many thanks

Evelyn

Hi Evelyn

I basically have the same problem too, but I'll refer you to the beamInCrossFlow tutorial case in which after running the case, you could see in Paraview the different domains and meshings.
I'm also trying to work out an FSI simulation! would appreciate to hear about the result of your endeavors.

regards
Iman
