Q. What methods for FLuid Structure Interaction utilizing FLOTRAN are/will be available?
There are two ways to run FLOTRAN based. FSI in ANSYS.
The "old way" is referred to as the FSI solver. It utilizes the FS set of commands to interface FLOTRAN with an ANSYS structural solution. The last version this will be supported in is ANSYS 9.0. It will continue to be present in the code, but will not be documented.
The ANSYS replacement for this is the Multifield solver, which has all the capabilities of the FSI solver but generalizes it. There will be support for this in ANSYS with GUI support for the foreseeable future, but it will not be a part of the ANSYS Workbench Solution.
Both of these methods utilize the FSIN flag to identify the FSI/Multifield boundary surfaces. The two sets of menu paths listed below for loads perform the same operation, i.e. set the interface boundary number.
Main Menu>Preprocessor>Loads>Define Loads>Apply>Field
Surface Intr>On Areas
or
Main Menu>Preprocessor>Loads>Define Loads>Apply>Fluid/ANSYS>Field
Surface>On Areas
