I have a case where I would like to analyze the deflections of a structure due to an
impinging sound wave, and the subsequent re-radiation of sound due to this structural motion.
Can this be done in ANSYS?


Yes, using the Fluid-Structure Interface. The input below is a
transient analysis of a 100 psi pressure wave traveling in water and
impinging on an aluminum SOLID45 cantilever.
