Hi all,

I'm currently working on a fluid-structure interaction problem considering a hinged body. As solver, I employ the 'new' rigidBodyMotion solver implemented in the OpenFOAM version v1706.

Throughout the simulation I now would like to print out the centre of mass at each time step. Means that I would like to add a line to this part of the rigidBodyMotion.C

Info<< "Rigid-body motion of the " << name(bodyID) << nl
        << "    Centre of rotation: " << CofR.r() << nl
        << "    Orientation: " << CofR.E() << nl
        << "    Linear velocity: " << vCofR.l() << nl
        << "    Angular Velocity: " << vCofR.w()
        << endl;

For that, I need to know how the centre of mass is stored within the solver. Does anyone how you have an idea how this is done?

Cheers,
Christian

Hi,

I have the same question. Did you have an answer ?
