I explain correct - when only object inside domain moves; non correct - when whole domain moves...

Maybe i need to use cyclicAMI?
but nothing in my domain is rotating...

Any hit is much appreciated

ok... hi...

first when u use the tool meshes from OF u have to understand the software's bcs

first, you use cyclicami for actual mesh motion (different from mrf)
second, cycliami is an internal BCs, so its not an inlet or outlet

second, if your case is symmetric for a phi angle, then u use cyclic bcs if im not mistaken

third, make sure the bcs ur using are compatible with the current solver

fourth, symmetrical cases may be steady-state cases. cyclic ami is for transient solutions.

i advise you to read of's user guide and attempt a mesh created somewhere else.

Greetings to all!

@Lev: If there is mesh motion, you probably will need cyclic AMI. Check post #12 for more information.
