Hi there,

I am currently working on a multizone FSI shape optimization problem of a 2D NACA 2412 airfoil. So basically, my design problem will run without problem only when 1 adjoint of a objective function is computed but when multiple adjoints have to be computed, it fails. In my case, I am setting an objective function (OPT_OBJECTIVE) as DRAG and one of the constraints (OPT_CONSTRAINT) as LIFT > 0.5.

Running the solution, it fails because of the ADJOINT_LIFT solution. Looking through the log_adjoint.out file for the ADJOINT_LIFT solution, it is shown that for zone 0 (fluid), it is computing the drag adjoint instead, but for zone 1 (structure), it is computing the lift adjoint, which is why when the python scripts are trying to find the fsisteady_adj_res_cl_0.csv file it is there is no file for it because there is only fsisteady_adj_res_cd_0.csv. It is also noted that the ADJOINT_DRAG has already been computed at this point and I confirm that it is correct for both zones.

Any idea why its computing the wrong adjoint? Is there any possible fix for this, or even so, may I find where within the source code this problem could be arising? I have attached my config files, mesh file and the design solution file below:

Thank you guys so much in advance, and hope to hear from you soon!

Okay, nevermind, I found the solution. I realized I defined OBJECTIVE_FUNCTION = DRAG in the fluid zone which conflicts with the adjoint lift calculations for that zone.
