Hey all,

this is my first post here in this forum so a big "Hello to all" first of all.

I have a problem I encounter with a DFBI Problem that I will try to describe:

I have a catamaran in a box shaped domain. I am trying to model heave and pitch motions in headseas at zero speed. The domain is pitching with the catamaran. The thing is, when I look at the wave profile along the domain it seems like the coordinates are pitching as well. So as soon as the Cat/Domain starts to pitch the wave profile just gets really weird. So I dont really know how to fix this. I was hoping it was just a coordinate thing but now I am thinking it is due to the domain moving and not being able to resolve the waterprofile!?
I attached some pictures of the wave profile along the domain and the mesh.

Thanks for any thoughts on this!!

cheers

fuzel
