Hi,

I simulated a interDyMFoam case with a ship-like structure. For visualization I use a alpha iso-surface for the water surface and the hull (wall) for the ship. This works without any problems.

For better visualization (and just for visualization) I would like to add another geometry, let's say a car (of course it's not a car... ), on top of the hull at a fixed location. Importing the geometry as a stl file results in a static geometry. Obviously I want the car to move along with the hull so that it looks nice and physical.
I dont want to rerun the calculation and the meshing process with the new geometry, as the car's geometry is rather complex. Computational time is about 3 days btw.

Is there any possibility to fix the car to the hull so that the car moves exactly like the hull does?

Thanks!
