To address this limitation, Dassault Systèmes SIMULIA Corp. Many important problems involve some form of FSI, but the coupling effect is often ignored because of a lack of readily available solution technology.
The interaction can be mechanical, thermal, or both.
Fluid Structure Interaction Analysis with Abaqus and FLUENT Summary Engineering problems that involve the coupled response of a flowing fluid and a deforming structure constitute a broad class referred to as fluid-structure interaction (FSI). Abaqus Technology Brief TB-05-FSI-2 Revised: April 2007.
