Description

INTRFACE

<YES, NO>

Default = YES

If YES, OptiStruct generates the .interface file which contains data about the Fluid-Structure Coupling. The .interface file can then be loaded into HyperMesh to verify if the Fluid and Structure meshes are properly connected at the interface. The parameters that determine the Fluid-Structure coupling are set in the ACMODL Data.

If NO, the .interface file is not generated.

Comments

1.When the fluid domain is represented by an MFLUID card, and PARAM, INTRFACE, YES is specified, OptiStruct generates the .wetel file which contains data about the wet elements resulting from MFLUID cards. The .wetel file can then be loaded into HyperMesh to visualize the locations of submerged/damp elements in the model.
