Hello,

Can someone please tell me how I can modify rotating Motion sub class in Solid Body Motion Functions, in order to use a calculated rotational speed instead of a constant rotational speed?

I am simulating a wind driven turbine. So rotation should be wind induced rather than predefined. I indent to do this as follows.

1. Using initial position of the turbine, run the flow solver to obtain pressure field on turbine blade.
2. Then using this pressure field, torque can be calculated.
3. Using this torque value and moment of inertia of turbine angular velocity can be calculated.
4. Modify Rigid body rotation class so that it can take the calculated angular velocity to define mesh rotation.

Can some one tell me how to use calculated values from a solver as inputs to a solid body motion function.

Thanks
