@Claudio would you maybe like to post here a summary of points that helped you go forward? I understand that this issue is difficult to ever be marked as “resolved”, but I guess the future reader may want to also read these topics: > [@Question about forces at interface](https://precice.discourse.group/t/question-about-forces-at-interface/206): > > Hi, I am working on a structural adapter and I’m experimenting it with some of the tutorials. When simulating something like the vertical flap with SU2 euler flow, I obtain something like the video below, which at least qualitatively looks physically reasonable: [[SU2 vertical flap] ](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QeQWzMOG2bE) Going into the data of the simulation, I recovered the data from the interface mesh and imported them together with the fluid flow. During some timesteps find situations like the one below: … > [@MBDyn OpenFOAM FSI coupling: convergence issues](https://precice.discourse.group/t/mbdyn-openfoam-fsi-coupling-convergence-issues/256): > > After talking to @uekerman and @Makis about the issues I found coupling MBDyn and OpenFOAM and having found some interesting cues in the discussion from [IQN fails for quickly changing forces during wetting in a free-surface FSI problem](https://precice.discourse.group/t/iqn-fails-for-quickly-changing-forces-during-wetting-in-a-free-surface-fsi-problem/248/4), I would like to share some thoughts and considerations about my setup and PreCICE configuration. I am working on a vertical flap setup, where the structure is composed of a set of MBDyn beams and the fluid is a OF incompressible model.
