Hello,nWe don't have the functionality to perform 2-way coupling between Fluent and Aqwa at the moment. I think the best you can do is to export the structure motions from the time domain hydrodynamics calculation (plot the motions as graphical results, and use 'Export CSV File...' from the graph details) and then impose these motions in the Fluent calculations.nTo model this in Aqwa you can use Morison Disc elements to model the viscous drag effects on the plates; you may also consider increasing the drag coefficients to account for vortex shedding.nI hope this helps!
