Fluid-structure interaction

If a solid construction interacts with a fluid, both the solid and fluid can be modeled with the materi equation. Interaction forces between solid and fluid will automatically be generated. If required, a temperature field may be imposed. An example of a input file is given below

Elements 0-100 are solids (with temperature) and elements 101-200 are fluids (with temperature).
