[MrBeneS]

Dear All,

I am trying to set up a case with pisoFoam to calculate the wind flow arround a prismatic shaped building. So far, my case was working quite nicely. Now I want to create openings on my building with "valves", where the flow can pass through when the valve is open and can not pass when it is closed. See also the attached sketch.

For this purpose I am using dynamicMeshDict, more specifically the dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh as I have multiple valves which can close and open on in a predifined time interval. To define multiple motions I am refering to the following development of OF, which to my knowledge is also included in OF v1912 which I am using: https://develop.openfoam.com/Develop...1e6d64e9a8b8b1 Consequently, this is how my dynamicMeshDict looks like:

FoamFile
{
    version     2.0;
    format      ascii;
    class       dictionary;
    location    "constant";
    object      dynamicMeshDict;
}
// * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * //

dynamicFvMesh   dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh;

motionSolverLibs (fvMotionSolvers);

solvers
(
    AMI000
    {
        cellZone        AMI000;
        solidBodyMotionFunction  rotatingMotion;
        rotatingMotionCoeffs
        {
            origin        (-22.500 5.000 90.000);
            axis          (0 0 1);
            omega         6.2832; // rad/s
        }
    }
    AMI001
    {
        cellZone        AMI001;
        solidBodyMotionFunction  rotatingMotion;
        rotatingMotionCoeffs
        {
            origin        (-22.500 -5.000 90.000);
            axis          (0 0 1);
            omega         6.2832; // rad/s
        }
    }
);

Unfortunately, when I now try to test the AMIs and run:

moveDynamicMesh -checkAMI

The following error pops up:

So I assume the my dynamicMeshDict, or rather the entries to use in combination with the dynamicMotionSolverListFvMesh are ill defined. I tested the geometrie, and without the AMIs my case runs with no errors.

Does anybody has experience with this and can help me out? Your help is well apreciated!

Best,
Benedikt

Hello, MrBeneS.

Have you already solve your problem? I have the same issue for my 3 AMI simulation. Thank you.

Dear gberestinas,


Yes, I managed to solve the issue. Was mostly a punctuation error. I used a normal instead of a curly bracket.. ;-)
