  Dear all,
  I want to run a FSI simulation and the solid material is shape memory alloy.
  I can make a fluent module and Transient dynamics module coupling when the solid is steel.
  My problem is I couldn't make a fluent module and Transient dynamics module coupling when I assign SMA material to solid.
  Is it because ansys does not support the fluid-structure interaction of shape memory alloys？
  
  Any information will be appreacited.
  Thanks!

  Hi
  here is the list of Mechanical elements supported by FSI with System Coupling, https://ansyshelp.ansys.com/account/secured?returnurl=/Views/Secured/corp/v231/en/ans_cou/Hlp_G_COU1_2.html%23loadtransystcoup
  What elements are used by SMA? Check if they are supported by FSI.
  Hope this helps you!
