    Hi!

    First, follow the first 10 step in the tutorial pdf https://altairuniversity.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/FSI_in_VWT_2017.pdf, next, to run the model with optistruct, follow the following steps:

     

    1. Click on the optistruct option as shown in the figure below:

    4. An .op2 file would have been created in your working directory, use it in HyperView to proceed to the next step.
