Coordinates of a specific node or cell in a transient problem(Newbie with UDF)

shaharg · May 14, 2021, 06:42

Hello,

My issue is fairly simple, I suppose:

I'm working on a transient problem using a moving mesh (overset and dynamic meshing) and I want to monitor the distance between a stationary wall and one of the moving walls.
A simple solution would be to monitor the coordinates of two selected nodes or cells (assuming I know their IDs), but I am pretty certain I cannot resolve this with Fluent's GUI, and I think a UDF can help me.

Of course, I would gladly appreciate other solutions without UDF.
Thanks.
