In some simulations, there is a strong and potentially nonlinear relationship between the fields that are coupled in the Fluid Structure Interaction. Under these conditions, the ability to reach a converged solution will likely require the use of bidirectional FSI. As for unidirectional interaction, examples are provided below that demonstrate the variety of strategies to execute such simulations.
Conjugate heat transfer is an example of bidirectional interaction that can be solved using the CFX-Solver only.
