Default Coupling of Fluent and Rigid Dynamics

Hello everybody,



I'm trying to couple a CFD-Simulation in Fluent with a Rigid Dynamics Simulation. The specific case is simply a rod which has a constant velocity in one end (See picture).
In order to couple the Analyses I want to Export force on the rod after every timestep and Import displacement/rotation of the center of gravity before every timestep.
I have two main problems concerning fluent:
  1. Is it possible to rotate and translate a mesh zone at the same time? How? Preferable with a Profile (I'm working at a university's computer and there it is not possible to compile the udfs nor easy to do software changes)
  2. Is it possible to read a file with displacements and change the rotation and translation in the Profile/UDF before each timestep?
Exporting the force on the rod is no problem.

I'm happy for every help.
Thanks a lot in advance.

If somebody here is also skilled on the mechanical side please tell me, there I will also need help.
