Parameter Values Description
ASCOUP <YES, NO>
YES (Default)
The fluid-structure coupling (area) matrix will be calculated and used in the solution.
NO
The fluid-structure coupling (area) matrix is not calculated.

Comments

  1. PARAM,AGGPCH,YES should be used to output the matrix to the Punch (.pch) file.
  2. PARAM,ASCOUP,NO is required when the fluid-structure coupling (area) matrix is read in from the Punch (.pch) file.
