REPORT OF FSI SIMULATION IN STAR CCM+

According to the previous simulation, you replace Backround by Subtarct= Background –


Belt
Because I can not open your simulation file so I will replace Belt by a Block for you
understand more.

+) Step 1: Expand Region->Right click Plate-> Create Segment-> Surface Segment


+) Step 2: Expand Region-> Plate-> Surface Segment 1-> Change type to Constraint->
Surface: All of face of plae
+) Step 3: Expand Surface Segment 1-> Physics Condition-> Solid Stress Constraints-> Change
Method to Rigid contact
+) Step 3: Expand Surface Segment 1-> Physics Condition-> Rigid Contact Obstacle-> Change
Contact Obstacle to Tessellated Geometry Parts
+) Step 4: Expand Surface Segment 1-> Physics Values->
 Penalty Contact Enforcement: 1e10 Pa/m
 Tessellated Geometry Parts : Belt
The penalty method describes a perfectly rigid contact. A finite value is recommeded for the
value . However, too large values can impair the convergence of the numerical schemes.
Therefore, the penalty parameter value must be chosen as a compromise between modeling
accuracy and numerical stability.The optimal value is related to the stiffness of the solid
material and the mesh size:

Recommeded value= E/h


where   represents the material stiffness and   is the numerical accuracy, that is, the finite
element's size.

+) Step 5: Initializing and Run simulation
