Adams - scFlow Cosimulation using flexible bodies

Question

Hello,

Is it possible to run a cosimulation between Adams and scFlow using flexible bodies to receive wall forces?

e.g.

Supposing the flexibility of a wind turbine's blades must be taken into account, is there a way to let the blades receveive the wall load from the fluid? Since they would be flexible, matching the wall force from scFlow with a single marker in Adams would not be accurate at all.

Thanks,

Josef

We are sorry but it is impossible to handle flexible bodies in Adams-scFLOW CoSim. I will make a development request for the demand.

As the other solution, if using Nastran-scFLOW or Marc-scFLOW CoSim, it is possible to treat the flexibility of blades.
