Hi, I have a problem with the surfaceElevation functionObject of the waves2Foam library. It doesn't work with dynamic mesh, for example with the waveDyMFoam solver. The error is:

--> FOAM FATAL ERROR:
Unknown function type surfaceElevation

I've tried a lot of things but none work, could someone help me please?

Thank you!

Michele

Hi Michele,

did you solve that problem? I just stumbled over it myself and could not figure out a solution yet.

Thanks,

Pascal.

Hi Michele,

I was to quick with asking, and the solution is in fact rather simple (haha, once you know, it is easy to say ;-)). Just in case you are still interested: One needs to insert the library to be used in the controlDict:

... controlDict stuff...

libs
(
"libwaves2FoamSampling.so"
);

Then the sampling functions are known to waveDyMFoam, and you can sample the wave heights even there.

Cheers,

Pascal.
