Hi All,

I am trying to obtain the equilibrium attitude of a floating object without having to use the interDyMFoam solver. I have no interest at all in the transient solutions.

I was hopping to make a script that moves my patch (not the whole domain) in order to match the mass and moments every n seconds in order to reach a steady state attitude after a few motion iterations.

I thought I could use the motion solver moveDynamicMesh but I haven't been successful at moving my patch in both translation and rotation at the same time.

I have tried some of the available patchFields in the pointDisplacement file but either couldn't figure the correct syntax to make them work or they do not seem to suit my needs. Couldn't find much in the tutorials neither as my case is a bit off the usual applications I think.

Has any of you got some tips and advises to give me in order to move a patch in a mesh?

Regards,

B.
