ANSYS coupling Shell and Solid fluid 80 to model water tank

ANSYS coupling Shell and Solid fluid 80 to model water tank

ANSYS coupling Shell and Solid fluid 80 to model water tank

(OP)
Dear All,
I am a new user of ANSYS 13. I am going to model a ground water thank excerted to seismic loads.
I am using shell to model the tank walls, where the water is modeled using Fluid80 solid element.
some constrains is needed to guided water to be kept into the walls limit, i.e. the fluid elemet to follow wall shells in normal direction where  its free to move tangentialy and verticaly.


so I have to couple the nodes of shells(walls) and volume(fluid80) in normal direction.

I am surpised that Coupling command need to select the nodes of both shell and sloid one by one which seems to be so difficult.

is there any way to simplify tis job? (like select the area which form the shell elemnt and the side of volume element to be coupled directly)

hope you can support me

many thanks and regards
