CEL based on the coordinates of a point in the domain

mortazavi · December 22, 2017, 10:48

Hi,
In my FSI simulation with large deformation, I am trying to define a CEL to apply: for X>X(TE) ; AAA=2.
TE is the trailing edge of an airfoil which moves in the domain.
Could you please help me? obviously this point moves and does not have a constant coordinate.
thanks

Please explain what you are trying to do more carefully.

But I can guess what you are asking: When you define a monitor point you have options to make it either fixed in absolute space (so the nodes it gets the values from will move), or a fixed node in the mesh (so the location of the point will move). Is this what you are looking for?
