monitoring point displacement on moving patch

Panda School · September 11, 2020, 10:44

Hi,
i'm new to OpenFOAM and trying to simulate vortex-induced vibration of a circular cylinder. I do not know how to monitor point displacement of a specific point on a moving patch. Can anyone help me? Are there any tutorials related to this topic?

Thanks in advance,
Z.F.

I find out the function sixDoFRigidBodyState can do this.
