Modeling fluid filled cavity
Modeling fluid filled cavity
(OP)
I am trying to model a fluid filled cavity and
I have defined the boundary of the cavity with shell elements. How do I then define the interior with F3D3 or F3D4 hydrostatic fluid elements? When I go into Mesh -> Element Type I don't see any fluid element options. What am I missing? Thanks in advance.

1) Use the hydrostatic pressure distribution option in ABAQUS - but this is only good if your vertical direction is in the Z-Direction.
2) Create a user field and apply the pressure as a function of height.
You would apply this pressure distribution to the surfaces of the orphan mesh that woudl see the fluid...
