Hi all,

I would like to know if anyone here ever used these types of elements in structural analysis?

Shortly describing the problem - I have got to model the fluid during the static seismic analysis (accelerations will be as loads) and my questions are:
1. Is any option to use it in Workbench? I unserstand that switching is necessary but should I model it from the beginning in APDL? Maybe I can insert some comments into WB? I saw the tutorial in Ansys-help and model was in Mechanical APDL...
2. Does this type of element include "sloshing effects" - I mean simplified, connected with raised pressure on specified wall due to inclination of free surface, not slosh-dynamics?
