xatzi is on a distinguished road
I am trying to simulate the movement of a ball in a tube because of the fluid flow inside said tube. I have trouble using the moving mesh option with the 6DoF solver as the ball that i created only reacts to the gravity and it does not bounce of the wall of the tube as it should. Any ideas of what i am doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance.

It is not trivial. You can set the physics yourself through udf for that to happen.
