Hi, I'm using sixDoFRigidBodyMotion to compute the rotation of NREL Phase IV wind generator rotor (~5m diameter). After waiting for some time the simulation started to explode. And I found that the mesh start to be deformed, (see the pictures). My case is basically the propeller example with the rotor geometry and changing the dynamicMeshDict to:

But what I spect as in the propeller tutorial is that the mesh region rotates, and not the rotor inside its mesh regions and deforming it.

Hello, could you solve, it has happened like me, change your inner diameter to a rotor the AMI diameter.
