pimpleDyFoam and sixDoFMotionSolver to move two patches

Hi Foamers,
I have a geometry consisting of body1 and body2, they are connected with each other and move together, i.e. they can be treated as one rigid body. I use pimpleDyMFoam and sixDoFMotionSolver to study its vibration and it works well when I take body1 and body2 as one patch (BODY). And I can obtain the aerodynamic force on the BODY. However, I'd like to know the force on body1 and body2, respectively, so my plan is to take it as two patches, so I modify dynamicMeshDict file to add the patch name. HTML Code:
dynamicFvMesh dynamicMotionSolverFvMesh; motionSolverLibs ( "libsixDoFRigidBodyMotion.so" ); solver sixDoFRigidBodyMotion; sixDoFRigidBodyMotionCoeffs { ... patches (BODY1 BODY2); // before modification: patches (BODY); ... } Or is there any other method to obtain the force contribution on each body when calculating it as one body? Thanks!!! |
