how can I make a sliding door?

Roman1 · June 7, 2014, 17:16

Hello. I am trying to make a OF-case where the sliding door in the compartment opens and closes during the fire (fireFoam). Please give me an idea or the way for describing such a door in OF. Thanks.

Dear Roman,

sound like moving or dynamicMesh.
Check out the tutorial with dynamic mesh motion.
Solver with this functionalty have DyM i(abrv. for Dynamic Mesh) within their name, like

pimpleDyMFoam, interDyMFoam,...

Also worth to look at:

the "kivaTest" tutorial

tutorials/combustion/engineFoam/kivaTest

where you have moving mesh with cell/layer deformation.
