PFEM Integrator
The PFEM integrator is a specialized integration method for fluid-structure interaction analysis using the Particle Finite Element Method.
Description
This integrator is particularly suitable for:
Fluid-structure interaction problems
Free-surface flows
Large deformation problems
Multi-physics simulations
Problems involving fluid sloshing and splashing
The PFEM integrator is specifically designed to handle the coupled physics in fluid-structure interaction problems using the Particle Finite Element Method.
