Abaqus - StarCCM+ Fluid Structural Interaction (FSI) analysis using one way coupling and mesh morphing

FSI analysis using Abaqus and StarCCM+ using co simulation and mesh morphing technique

1.   Create the Solid model and extract the fluid volume out of it in CAD
2.       Setup and Run the Static analysis in Abaqus using normal methods in the Solid CAD model.
3.       Set up the CFD study in StarCCM+. Make sure that you have created a separate boundary for all the mating surfaces between solid and fluid CAD models in StarCCM+.

Import Abaqus data into StarCCM+
1.       Extract and create input file (*.inp) file in Abaqus CAE model.
2.       In StarCCM+ window, File – Import – Import CAE model
3.       Locate the Abaqus input (*.inp) file and click OK.
4.        In Simulation tree of StarCCM+, Inside Imported Models, and Locate Abaqus data.
5.       Right click in the Abaqus imported model and Select Import CAE Solution Data
6.       Locate Abaqus result file (*.ODB) and open it.

After importing the Abaqus ODB file to StarCCM+
1.       Map the surface displacements from Imported model to StarCCM+
2.       Check whether the data is properly imported in Data mappers
3.       In a scalar scene – select the scalar field as “Mapped vertex imported displacement
4.       To activate mesh morphing the solver should be in unsteady – Select Implicit unsteady in physics model
5.       Activate Mesh morphing in Tools - Motions
6.        Select Morpher from Physics condition of Wall and choose displacement in method
        Select Morpher: Linear Displacement method as field function from physics values
7.       Select the Field function vector function as Mapped vertex imported displacement
8.       Step the unsteady run for one iteration after freezing the segregated flow and K-epsilon turbulence solvers      
9.        Step the solution
10.   Plot the Morpher Displacement in a scalar scene and verify the deformations are properly morphed
11.   Revert back to Steady Simulation
12.                Unfreeze the solvers                         

13.   Run the solution
