Hi everyobdy!!

I'm working on a project in which I need to use this library (in 4.0 or 2.3.x), but I am having some troubles.

The project consists on a prism inside a large, square tube (all in 3D) and the prism moves in the transversal direction to the flux. The prism can also rotate inside. (if anyone doesn't understand the geometry, I can add some drawings or figures)

The thing is that the simulation starts properly, but suddenly diverges, without any reasonable explanation that I have found, and I think that is related to the values of "inner Distance" and "outer Distance" that are given in the dynamicMeshDict.

So, can somebody explain to me which values should I put in those fields and why? I have read many descriptions, (some of them in this forum) but I still don't get it.

Thank you very much


Alex
