moving Body in different directions with topological changes of the mesh
 

Hello foamers,

I'm new to OpenFOAM and using foam-extended-3.1.
I want to adapt the tutorial

"tutorials / incompressible / icoDyMFoam / movingConeTopo"

in the way that a body is moved in x- and y-direction and for each each direction separate movingBodyTopoFvMeshCoeffs defined in the dynamicMeshDict.

I considered modifying the file movingBodyTopoFvMesh.C but I'm not sure what exactly to change.

Another idea was to subsequently apply the mesh motion module twice for each direction.

Can anybody help?

kind regards

Hello,

maybe some more information about the problem could be helpful.

The case is very simple. Just a structured rectangular mesh. The pictures simpleTopo1.jpg and simpleTopo2.jpg show the motion in vertical direction. The pictures simpleTopoHoriz1.jpg and simpleTopoHoriz2.jpg the direction in horizontal direction.

the two motions individual is working and simple. But now I want to move the lower boundary and the right boundary simultanously. This does not work.

my setBatch-file to define the moving faces:

Maybe the front and backFaces have to be defined differently?

Hi!

I am having the same interest of moving the mesh both in x and y direction. I wonder have you figured out the solution?

Hi there! I'm also interested in this point. Did you finally solve it?

Hi guys, can anyone solve the question?
