About This Lesson
- This study presents a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) simulation of a quadcopter using ANSYS Fluent
- The quadcopter geometry was created using ANSYS SpaceClaim
- The model was then meshed using ANSYS Meshing, which generated an unstructured mesh consisting of approximately 499,152 elements
- To accurately capture the blades’ rotation, two frame motion(MRF) zones are applied to the blades.
- The Structure model with the Linear Elasticity option was enabled to investigate the displacement of the blade
