Hello everyone,
I am new to this forum and to the CfX as well. Excuse me for any elementary question.

What I want to do is, define a mesh displacement of all surface nodes towards one certain point which lies inside the fluid.

How can I do this?

Hello.
In Pre you can edit the boundary details of the surface you want to move. Prior to that, you have to define a mesh motion for you domain I think. Go to domain properties and add "regions of motion specified" in the basic settings. Then, in the boundary details you can choose different options for mesh motion, in your case I think you need "specified displacement". Here you can for example give an expression to determine movement of the individual nodes.
Be aware that this can cause heavy distortion in the mesh.

thank you for your quick response,
but can you inform me about the whereabouts of a detailed list of functions with their definitions that i can use? For example I want to use in an expression mesh nodes coordinates and I don;t know the function's name. That's why I need such a list.
