I am trying to simulate an object decelerating from fluid forces, but it's unclear how to set the initial velocity and point displacement fields for the boundary of interest. I assume the point displacement needs to be calculated, so I am using that for the patch of interest, but the initial value doesn't appear to have an effect, i.e., the motion solver is simply predicting no force or motion. Is there a setting in the motion solver for specifying the initial velocity?

The answer was pretty simple, but maybe a little misleading. Initial velocity can be set with:
Code:
sixDoFRigidBodyMotionCoeffs { velocity (0 0 -1.5); } |

Hi all,
What about initial angular velocity ?... |
