Does anyone of you has experience with the class engineTopoChangerMesh?
I try to run a test case with a moving piston and one vertical valve.
I am using OF-1.5-dev.
I am struggling with the engnineGeometrie file with the liftProfile.
Hope someone of u can explain me or show how to set up the case!
regards

Does anyone of you know how to define the liftProfileFile or liftProfile entry in the engineGeometry dict?

I appreciate any help!

Problem solved!

Just create in the engineGeometry file a link to a file with the lift profile.

liftProfileFile "liftprofile.dat"

Create the file liftprofile.dat in the constant folder with the entry:

(0 0.0001)
(1 0.0002)
....
....
....

Hey Pete,

I found my problem with my test case, I think the liftProfileFile is not being read right. Could you maybe post a sample of yours? I need the correct syntax, should there be an empty line at the end, or that doesn't matter? I get liftProfileStart_=0, and also liftProfileEnd=0, so doing
while (adjustedTheta < liftProfileStart_)
{
adjustedTheta += liftProfileEnd_ - liftProfileStart_;
}

in Foam::engineValve::adjustCrankAngle, it cycles!!
Any hints?

Best regards,
abm

A lift profile can look like this
(
0 0
5 0
30 0.003
50 0
70 0
)


left column: CAD
right column: lift in m

regards
Peter
