Hi, i have a problem with the following;

I'm trying to make conical whirl ( i added a picture for your understanding) motion through mesh deformation technique in journal bearing and seals. But it does not working.. i just keep making cylinerical motion T.T

1. Even though I try variously changing the options, the tilted axis is not adopted..it just show only cylinerical motion like pararell to global z axis. How do I make it rotate based on the new axis I created (coord 1.3)?

2. i want to make different motion at inlet and outlet(please refer to attatched picture) but i only kwow the way it rotate 3d surface through 'specified displacement'. How can i set the inner surfaces of the inlet and outlet seperatley move?

If the axis of rotation does not change then I would not use a mesh motion approach, I would use a rotating frame of reference (with a transient rotor stator interface).

If the axis of rotation changes then you have to use moving mesh, but you have to define the motion of the boundaries yourself. For a whirling motion this will be complex function of the rotation combined with the whirl.
