Hi all, I am carrying out sound transmission loss analysis through a structure. I am new to this field. I don't know how to create fluid-structure interface ? Element types I have used are- for structure '3 node beam 189', for fluid 'Fluid 29' acoustic element and for infinite boundary 'Fluid 129' is used. I am running this analysis in ANSYS 14.5 APDL. What boundary conditions are to be applied at the fluid-structure interface ?
