Mesh distortion in FSI

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hey,

I am solving a paraffin micro-valve in v4.1 where I have fluid-solid interaction and moving mesh. The problem is, the mesh for which the solver solves the problem is quite different than the one I make manually. I make a Quad mesh but when Comsol solves the problem it changes the mesh to triangular? This leads to distortion of mesh while solving, hence the problem crashes.

I assume there is something trivial which I am overlooking. Any clue?
