Hi all,

I am simulating a floating body in pitch motion and I would like to do a free decay test to compare with experimental results.
I am using a moving mesh and the log file contains information like this:
Code:
6-DoF rigid body motion
    Centre of rotation: (0 0 0)
    Centre of mass: (0.58783434026 0 -0.181372871211)
    Orientation: (0.995632340385 0 0.0933608203665 0 1 0 -0.0933608203665 0 0.995632340385)
    Linear velocity: (0 0 0)
    Angular velocity: (0 0.0586546346079 0)
Is there a way to write the orientation of the body in a separate file to plot the pitch motion after? Or is there maybe another way?

Cheers,
Mona
