Dear All,

I am facing a movingMesh problem with OpenFOAM.

My case is very similar to the movingCone tutorial, but in my case I have a door which is opening (hence rotating) instead of translating.

I can perfrom a `door translation' using my mesh, but that's not what I need. I guess that the files that I need to modify are the che pointMotionUx and the dynamicMeshDict.

Here are the 2 files:

Code:
