For those who are trying here is what to follow:
1. Use Euler angles to define angles (Theta, Phi... etc in Euler Angles)
2. Orient Geometry As it shall be at time t=0.
3. In dynamic mesh, when you define dynamic zone, mention CG properly (Very IMP), In my case I wrote the Cg position x,y,z and I didn't mention the cg orientation when defining dynamic mesh zones.
4. Follow the order X, Y, and then Z, i.e. The first rotation will be about X axis, second will be about Y axis, and third will be about Z axis.
5. The UDF that JR has provided works perfectly, its in this thread itself, so many thanks to JG for that.
6. If your motion is not proper, then play with positive negative sign, I had to do this in my case also. Try changing signs of equations, and you may get proper motion.

Hello.....

hope you are doing fine. you wrote that mentioning CG position and orientation is important. Will you please tell how to give CG position and orientation correctly.

Will you please tell how to give CG position and orientation correctly.

I assume you are using DEFINE_CG_MOTION macro give motion to wing. In Dynamic Mesh zones when you define your wing as "Rigid Body" you also need to define CG location of wing which will be used as a reference point by the wing to perform the desired motion(as instructed to it by the UDF) say for example flapping motion around x-axis(chord axis) was desired for me I gave x and y coordinates of the CG location in CG position tab and wing used these coordinates as reference point to give desired motion, hope it helps you
