how to make a moving point in CFD POST

xerxessighs · May 2, 2019, 19:59

Greetings everyone,

i am trying to model the liquid sloshing in a moving container(rectangular container moving in a sine manner), and i am trying to plot the pressure-time graph at certain points on the wall of the container.

the problem is when i define a point, that point would not move with the container (the whole frame is moving).

is there a way that i could attach the point to the container?

regards

Have a look at the monitor point options, for Position Update Frequency.

maybe if you define node number than it should always stay at that node location
