I want to perform an oblique shot of a solid object within the boundary volume, simulate this and at the same time calculate where it will fall.

I will ask you a few questions one by one and I would be very happy if you could answer them.

1- I perform the mesh operation on Salome. Before performing mesh, when creating the boundary volume, do I need to remove the part to be discarded from the boundary volume?

2- Let's assume that this is a very simple example. To solve this problem, would it be enough to define the limit volume and the object to be thrown in the files in folder 0? How should I define these (noslip, fixedvalue etc. I would appreciate it if you could explain these parts)

Hello,

Have you run the case I mentioned on this post: icoUncoupledKinematicParcelFoam ?

The whole case is available on github: https://github.com/nicolasbadano/OversetSkipping

This is a good start, running it and studying how it is setup should put you in the right direction to set your own case.

Cheers,
Yann

Hi,

I have been working on setting up a ship simulation case, using overInterDyMFoam, and have been having an issue with the dynamicCode folder and the dynamicMeshDict. The error message I have been receiving is shown below:

And in the control dict I import the libs: libs (overset fvMotionSolvers);

To try and solve this issue I have uninstalled and reinstalled 'make', I have changed the libraries imported and have remade the whole case from scratch again.

I am quite new to openFoam so there is a good chance I have made a simple syntax error or am using the wrong libraries. However, if anyone has some tips, it would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks, Magnus
