3D Simulation of Cylinder Traveling Through Pipe
 
I am trying to create a 3D simulation of a cylindrical "carrier" traveling through a long cylindrical pipe. I am modifying the wingMotion tutorial and I have succesfully changed the geometry and object file to match what I want and I have ran snappyHexMesh and simpleFoam succesfully. Now I want to run pimpleDyMFoam but I am getting the following when I do:
Create time

Create mesh for time = 3

Selecting dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh
Selecting motion solver: displacementLaplacian
Selecting motion diffusion: inverseDistance

PIMPLE: no residual control data found. Calculations will employ 2 corrector loops

End

If anyone has any ideas of what i need to change or if I should be taking a different approach to this 3D-moving-object kind of problem it would be greatly apreciated. Thank you.
