Water balloon deformation

Please login with a confirmed email address before reporting spam

Hello,
I've only recently started using this program, so my level of knowledge is not very high.

I'm trying to model the physical deformation of a water balloon due to external force (get the shape in different time steps).
I've tried using the fsi physics module, defining a liquid domain surrounded by an elliptic elastic solid body domain, kind of like an ellipse within a ring.
I then applied different boundary loads on the outer boundary of the solid domain.

When I try and run the simulation I get an error stating that there are no consistent initial values. Why does this happen? Is there a fundamental piece of information i'm missing?

Thanks,
Raviv
