Problem with Fluid-Structure-Interaction using icoFsiFoam
 
Hey guys,

after running the standard icoFsiFoam tutorial provided by foam extend, I decided to change the structure a little bit. Instead of one beam for the solid, I put two of them to investigate how they interact among themselves and with the fluid.

So, I changed both blockMeshDict files by only adding the second beam, I didn't change anything apart this.
Here is the one for the fluid:

And this one is for the solid:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/...MeshDict_solid

The problem is now, that it seems that only the second beam interacts with the fluid and the first one doesn't although it has to, too.

What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance..
