Coupling of Feflo with Simpact

Abstract

This paper describes the coupling of FEFLO, a general purpose compressible and incompressible flow solver base on adaptive unstructured grids with SIMPACT, a general purpose, large deformation, explicit structural dynamics code developed at the Center for Numerical Methods in Engineering (CIMNE). Details on the codes, as well as the compiling strategy employed are given. Examples illustrate the possibilies the present fluid-structure capability offers.
