If the body is rigid, and its motion is just translation and rotation, then this is not FSI and should be modelled as a rigid body motion. You only need FSI if the body deforms due to the forces...

Coupling/stagger iterations are used in FSI simulations. Are you intending to do a FSI simulation? If you just need moving mesh you do not need FSI and the simulation becomes much easier.

To clarify - increasing the number of time steps (ie smaller time steps) with 3-5 coeff loops per iteration is usually a better approach then larger time steps with more coeff loops. I think that is...

1. Time step dependance check - run a simulation, then do it again with half the time step size. If the two simulations are the same within a toelrance you are happy with then you are finished. If...
