I'm trying to model the affect of a fluid on an elastomer seal. I'd ideally like to use an axis-symmetrical model to reduce computational weight however the 3 fluid modelling techniques; CEL, SPH and CO-SIMULATION, I can think of for Abaqus all require a 3d model to be used. Most of the industrial applications use MSC Marc so that they can model fluid in an axis-symmetrical system. Can anyone think of a way of modelling a fluid whilst using the axis-symmetrical model?

Cheers
