Frequency Response in FSI

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,

I would like to obtain the frequency response of a damped cantilever. I can do this in the solid mechanics interface simply by putting an arbitrary, stationary load on the free end of the cantilever, doing a frequency domain study, and plotting "solid.uAmpZ" (oscillations in z direction only) for a point on the free end. When I attempt to do the exact same thing except only using FSI (plotting "fsi.uAmpZ"), I get zero amplitude all around! Is there a reason for this, or have I just made a mistake? Any help is appreciated.

Dara

Hello,

I have exactly the same problem. But if i do the study in time-dependant the coupling works. It doesn't work in frequency domaine. It's about 2 weeks i'm working on it but no results.

Hi

from what I understand the FSI is not st up with harmonic development so you cannot do a frequency domain analysis without writing fully out the equations yourself. but I believe the acoustic module do have the required pre-cooked physics (but i do not have that module ;) so I cannot give any further advises

Good luck
