I am simulating a water wheel using the 6DOF dynamic mesh tool. My first question is do I add the interior zones and the regular zone along with the zone wall as a dynamic mesh 6DOF zone? Second, below is a moment plot of the wall of the water wheel zone during operation. Before I add that wall as a 6DOF zone, the moment plot does not fluctuate, and the numbers are reasonable. However, once I add it as a 6DOF zone, every time step the moment fluctuates from positive to negative at crazy values. However, it averages out to a reasonable expected number. Why is this happening and how can I fix it?


EDIT: I should also add that after each time step I get this message (I assume is remeshing). It changes a bit each time. Is this supposed to be happening at each time step? I have a time step of .0008 seconds.
