Co-simulation of MotionView, Optistruct Flexbody and EDEM

PimK

Hi all,

I am trying to perform a co-simulation with MotionView and EDEM of a wheel moving on granular soil. The wheel has some flexible parts, which I want to simulate using an Optistruct flexbody, as I want to simulate soft materials and large deformations.

However, it looks like it is not possible to perform such a simulation. I already successfully performed the co-simulation of Optistruct and MotionView, without coupling to EDEM. Now I want to couple MotionView to EDEM. However, I can not transfer the OS flexbody to EDEM. The following error appears:

'wheel_soft0' failed to be transferred to EDEM. Triangulation of flex body failed. [General]

Does anyone know it there is a solution to fix this error, or is it just not possible to transfer OS flexbodies to EDEM? Why is it possible for a CMS flexbody and not for an OS flexbody?

Kind regards,

Pim
