Objectives
This training course covers the process of performing one-way and twoway FSI in Workbench between ANSYS CFX and ANSYS Mechanical.
It is intended for users with some experience using both CFX and
Mechanical (or Mechanical APDL).
Course Objectives:
Provide an understanding of the Workbench user interface, as related to FSI
workflows
Learn the procedures for performing one and two-way structural and thermal
FSI analyses, including steady state and transient, using a co-simulation
approach (both solvers running together)
Learn the procedures for performing various one-way FSI analyses, including
thermal and structural, steady state and transient, for a variety of different
load types

About search
The ANSYS Customer Portals search
is powered by dedicated Google
hardware.

Mesh = Meshed = Meshing

Export = Exported = Exporting
XXXXX = YYYYY = ZZZZZ
Example:
You want a meshing tutorial for ANSYS Meshing and your search
has results for other products that are not of interest to you; by
selecting the product facet ANSYS Meshing you can narrow
down your results further.
