water container

[sohipiroy]

Dear All,
I want to model a water Tank. the tank is full of water and there is a lid on it. I am going to put a concentrated load upon the lead.
I do not know how to model it:
Abaqus standard/explicit:
when i model it, the difference between the tank full of water and empty tank is the same
Abaqus CFD:
as the water of my tank does not move, I do not know how to model the boundary condition. pressure on the end and at the lid of the tank is not specified. the velocity of the water I think is zero.
It will be very nice of you to help me

Why do want to include the water in the simulation? Is it because the incompressibility of the water might creat a opposite force against the deformation of the tank?

Then you should check the option Fluid Cavity.
