Abaqus

[abegbe]

I am working on anlyzing the aerodyanamics charactersitics of a dielectric elastomer and i have to use FSI in Abaqus to do that. I don't know how to start, so any demostrations or help will be highly appreciated.

 

[FEA way]

Abaqus itself doesn’t support CFD analyses anymore (they were available in older releases) so if you want to use it for FSI, you will have to run a co-simulation with Abaqus as a mechanical solver and some external software for fluid flow. You could use e.g. XFlow for this, it’s offered by the same vendor as Abaqus - Dassault Systemes Simulia.
