| 3SIMULIA intends to qualify and support Abaqus Version 6.6 with MpCCI 3.0.5 and FLUENT 6.3. However, delays with the official release of both MpCCI 3.0.5 and FLUENT 6.3 caused full qualification of FSI Co-simulation to lag the release of Abaqus V6.6. In the interim, FSI Co-simulation using MpCCI with Abaqus Version 6.6 has been partially qualified using pre-release versions of MpCCI 3.0.5 and FLUENT 6.3. Until qualification can be completed with released versions of MpCCI and Fluent; SIMULIA. recommends that interested FSI users continue to use Abaqus V6.5, MpCCI 3.0.4 and FLUENT 6.2.16. Check back for new information which will be posted here as qualification progresses for FSI Co-simulation. |
