Define the System Coupling Dynamic Mesh Zone

The System Coupling dynamic mesh zone defines the interface between the solid in the structural analysis and the fluid in the fluid analysis. This is where the fluid interacts with the reed valve. Data will be transferred across this interface during the execution of the simulation.

Configure this zone to receive motion data from the structural analysis via System Coupling.

  1. Under Dynamic Mesh Zones, click fsi.

  2. Under Type, select System Coupling.

  3. Click Create to update the value.

  4. Click Close to exit the dialog.

  5. Save the project and close Fluent.

The fluid setup is complete.
