Acoustic simulation : CAABSF/PAASF assignment

Hello,

I have modelled air around the housing. These structural and fluids are coupled by ACMODL Card. I want to define non-reflecting boundary. for that I have defined PAABSF and referenced to CAABSF. But I dont know how to assign CAABSF to Elements. 

Thanks in advance.

    The CAABSF element must connect entirely to fluid points on the fluid-structure boundary. Card edit option would help you to assign CAABSF eleements

    Thanks Rahul for your Reply.

    But I get some different options.

    set  type of element config as quad4 then second option contain will give CAABSF.

    Instead applying only on the fluid structure boundary, I have kept elem type as a CAABSF on all fluid Elements. 
    Is that fine?

    Hi, Rahul, 

    I am done with modelling of the fluid structural coupling Problem. 
    I have attached file. could you please check it once.

    Bauteil1,2 and platte - structural components
    Air - fluid (At the end non reflecting boundary)

    Please check if PAABSF and CAABSF are correctly defined or not.

    Thanks a lot.

     

    Regards,
