Dear All,

I have a channel flow. 3 walls (lateral and top) are fixed wall. On the contrary, I would like to make the bottom face moving, according to a certain law that I decide.
Let's say that my bottom face has 10 cells, I would like to impose a vector with 100 (x 3) coordinates, each showing the displacement of that cell.

Is it possible - in my pointDisplacement file - to have something like:

/*--------------------------------*- C++ -*----------------------------------*\

    }

    {

        (1 0 0)
                          }
    }
}

Thanks a lot,
Samuele

Do you want a dynamic mesh morphing ? I mean, does it has to move according to time or you simply want to move it outside of a solver ?

By the way, your file should be:
