I am trying to simulate the flapping motion of simple wing using a UDF. I came across two types of UDF's for the said purpose. I would like to know the difference between the two types and which one is better if we want to simulate flapping/pitching/twisting/rolling motion of the wing. Thanks in advance

Regards

Hi guys I am back with my UDF I want to simulate flapping motion of wing. The wing goes up from the mean position, comes back to the mean position and completes the half cycle in opposite direction. Here instead of going up, it again goes down and keep on flapping between mean position and downward direction which ofcourse is wrong. I am not able to figure out the mistake in the UDF. Kindly I need the help to correct it. Thanks in advance
