nIt is possible to have a System Coupling FSI handle a closing gap automatically. Please see this tutorial: https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v211/en/sysc_tut/sysc_tut_reedvalve_fluent.html. The method involves using the Contact Offset in Mechanical and Contact Marks in Fluent.nPlease have a look at my comment on this discussion for the initialization. You can specify a .jou journal file as the input file to System Coupling instead of the .cas, then load the .cas and .dat in the journal file. https://forum.ansys.com/discussion/23485/edit-input-and-getting-results-from-a-file-for-system-coupling-from-command-linenAlso see this discussion for how to use the patch method with Case Modification instead. https://forum.ansys.com/discussion/22971/fsi-volume-of-fluid-calculations-not-patching-the-water-phase#latestnThis sounds like a cool project. When you get it running, you should post a video of the results.nSteven
