Hello everyone,

anyone knows if it is correct to include Solid elements in the Fluid-Structure interaction?
I am doing some simulations using ACMODL card, and the SSET that I have in the baseline model has solid elements (CHEXA from the structure), and one-dimension elements (CBUSH, CROD, RBE2, etc) included. What should be the effect of including this type of elements (1D and 3D) in the interaction?

Thank you in advance!
