The Stationary, One-Way Coupled (

) study is used for stationary fluid-structure interaction computations where the model is one-way coupled in the sense that the structural deformations are so small that they do not affect the flow.
The study consists of two study steps: a Stationary, Fluid study step, solving for the fluid velocity and pressure fields, followed by a
Stationary, Solid study step, solving for the solid deformation field. The settings available for the two study steps are the same as for a
Stationary study step. If an additional physics interface is added, then it is automatically added to both study steps.
The Time Dependent, One-Way Coupled (

) study is used for time-dependent fluid-structure interaction computations where the model is one-way coupled in the sense that the structural deformations are so small that they do not affect the flow.
The study consists of two study steps: a Time Dependent, Fluid study step, solving for the fluid velocity and pressure fields, followed by a
Time Dependent, Solid study step, solving for the solid deformation field. The settings available for the two study steps are the same as for a
Time Dependent study step. If an additional physics interface is added, then it is automatically added to both study steps.
The Stationary, One-Way Coupled with Initialization (

) study is used for stationary turbulent fluid-structure interaction computations where the model is one-way coupled in the sense that the structural deformations are so small that they do not affect the flow.
The study consists of three study steps: a Wall Distance Initialization study step, solving for the distance function to the closest wall, followed by a
Stationary, Fluid study step, solving for the fluid field, and finally a
Stationary, Solid study step, solving for the solid deformation field. The settings available for the study steps are the same as for a
Stationary study step. If an additional physics interface is added, then it is automatically added to the last two study steps.

The Transient, One-Way Coupled with Initialization (

) study is for time-dependent, one-way coupled Fluid-Structure Interaction models using a turbulence model that requires the distance to the closest wall. The study node creates three study steps:
The settings available for the study steps are the same as for the Time Dependent node. When additional physics interfaces are included, it is by default added to the last two study steps.
