Dear Foamers,

I am currently working of a case with waves on a overset floating body.

I just finished to stabilized my model but I encounter 2 problemes :

- I can't find any way to track the my floating body position. InterFoam/OlaFlow always send me the initial position for each iteration... Which is very annoying. Do you have any tricks to do so ?

6-DoF rigid body motion
Centre of rotation: (20 0.5 3)
Centre of mass: (20 0.5 3)

- Do you know a simple way to track the water suface like on this video ?

I find it very clean, and when I use paraview to extract data, it's quite long to post-process...

Thanks !

Best regards,

Magistrane
