Alex, you are correct. Currently Chrono::FSI is limited to working with a single FEA mesh. To model multiple flexible tires, you would need to put all nodes and elements into a single mesh. Better support for FEA in Chrono::FSI, including allowing multiple meshes, is something that is on the todo list and will be worked on soon.

Hi everyone, I tried to model vehicle with four flexible wheels in a CRMTerrain. I referenced demo_VEH_CRMTerrain_WheeledVehicle and demo_FSI_Flexible_Toroidal_Tire. However, the simulation was stopped at the step of terrain.Initialize(). I tried to modelled two flexble wheel in demo_FSI_Flexible_Toroidal_Tire, and the simulation also stopped at the stage of terrain.Initialize(). So, is only one mesh allowed in the CRM-FEM cosimulation? Best regards -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "ProjectChrono" group.
