Hey guys, a couple of things firstly,

does moveDynamicMesh work with GGI? Not working for me. Output is:

[pab565@vayu1 pitchEllipse4]$ moveDynamicMesh

Secondly, I'm trying to use sinusoidal rotation and to this end I add this line in the bool Foam::mixerGgiFvMesh::update() function of the mixerGgiFvMesh.C file in the mixerGgiFvMesh folder:

rpm_=10/9*pi*cos(pi/6*time().value());

Upon compiling, this works fine and rotates my mesh sinusoidally as expected - HOWEVER when I change this line to:

rpm_=5/9*pi*cos(pi/6*time().value());

and compile, the code solves and everything, says it's doing the GGI interpolation and all - but the mesh does not move at all. What the???

Dear rieuk,

a) Try switching off the ggiCheck function object.

b) You may be a victim of implicit conversion. Try:

rpm_=5.0/9.0*pi*cos(pi/6.0*time().value());
Best Regards,

Henrik

Solved and solved. Cheers, Henrik! And sorry about crying wolf in the thread topic
