Solving for Q Factor

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hi,

I am using FSI to model an oscillating beam sitting in a fluid. I have my beam and fluid created, now I would like to make it oscillate and extract its Q-factor. Will I be able to do all of this in FSI? How so? Do I introduce a time-varying body/boundary load? What kind of study do I need to run?

Thank you,
Jim
