Default FEM mesh motion solver

d_dante is on a distinguished road
Dear all,

I am trying to simulate a cylinder oscillating in a fluid flow due to fluid forces
with openfoam extend 3.2. I modified the tutorial "wingMotion" from "pimpleDyMFoam", and everything works fine in serial.

The problem is that the solver crashes for parallel simulations because of the wrong behavior of the mesh motion algorithm (probably a bug of the solver).
I would like to use a FEM based mesh motion algorithm instead of the usual FV motion solver to go around this issue, but I did't find any tutorial about how to set the FEM mesh solver algorithm.

Does anybody have experience with that?

Thanks,
D.
