Hi. I'm working on the turbomachine simulation with openfoam, but I can't decide which version of openfoam to use. What I need is calculate the angular velocitie of my rotation system from its interaction with the fluid. This can be done using 6dof along with AMI to achieve the movement of the mesh or system.
On the other hand at some point I will need to consider the solid part as flexible/deformable body, for that I will need the FSI solver included in the OpenFoam-extend version, which does not appear in versions 4.x . So I don't know if the extended version of openfoam has something like 6dof to combine it with GGI and get the rotational speeds calculated from the interaction of the fluid with the machine.

i guess openfoam extended is more suitable. It supports both 6DOF and fluid-solid interaction (FSI)

thanks for your reply, in the extend version the 6DOF is configured in the same way that in the 4.x version?

im not using the latest version 4.x however it is almost similar version 3.0
