Hi all,

I'm new in OpenFOAM and I'm trying to make a solver wich I have a steady state flow. The solver is iterative because I dont have the exact boundary conditions on a specific face. But I can find them when I make a guessing BCs and update them with some equations and do it again till the convergence. But the topology of this surface will change with these new BCs in each iteration.
My solver is based on SIMPLE Method, which I have the heat, mass conservation and momentum equations to solve.
So, my questions is, can I update my domain (and consequently my mesh) using the createMesh.H or I must use the dynamicFvMesh.H ? And how I can do it?
I'm studying about dynamic meshes looking the pimpleDyMFoam solver to figured out about it. They are to solve transient problems, I know. But maybe I can use a part of the code. Unfortunately dont have many progress.
I hope that I made clear about my question.

Any help will be appreciated!
Thank you!

Kind regards,
Estevan

Greetings Estevan and welcome to posting on the forum!

Quick answer: Have a look at "moveDynamicMesh", located at the path given by this command:
Code:
echo $FOAM_UTILITIES/mesh/manipulation/moveDynamicMesh
Best regards,
Bruno

Thank you! I will study the apllication code. Maybe it can help me to understand how I can construct a part of code what I need!
In one month, I hope, I will return and reply if I have sucess.

Thank you, very much, again!
Kind regards,
