Cell Zone Frame Motion

philus · January 12, 2015, 04:54

Hi all,

I have to simulate the heating of a moving body (a polymer sheet) into a hoven. I wonder to use the "Frame Motion" option applied to the polymer sheet body, chosing the good translational velocity. After that i will set moving walls between the polymer and the air. It is sufficient or I need to set a mesh motion? How it is possible to check if the body (the interior) is really moving? I have the impression that only the walls are moving....

Thanks in advance

If you set a mesh motion, then you can use mesh motion preview and see what is and what is not moving.

Please could you take a look to my thread and see if you can help me too?

Thank´s a lot, and good luck

I can't try it because my simulation is stationnary...

...also it makes sense to set a mesh motion for a steady-state simulation?
