sir, i have checked material properties ..i have entered dynamic viscocity values which i have not entered before even then iam getting the error...

Hi

normally it means that you have missed some material properties or some BC links between the physics. To model your "hair in the wind" I would start with the FSI physics (not really good in v4.0, you should update to latest version).

Then you need to check that each Domain Entity has sufficient material properties defined, that the air inlet outlet are OK , use symmetric flow conditions on top and sides. You need a rather long =3-5 times the hair antenna length for the air inlet to get the flow to stabilize (or use laminar inflow) and at least the half on the outlet

Define the required boundary conditions FOR each PHYSICS: structural, fluidics and then if you use FSI for the moving mesh ALE

Then you need to check (after having solved your error issue) that you have a dense enough mesh so that you are in a reasonable velocity flow for laminar (check the cell Reynolds number)

Good luck
