Hello everyone,

I'm new to OpenFOAM, and have been using it as a black box tool (have no understanding of how it works) to try and simulate Fluid structure interactions for an internship.

I was able to find the icoFsiFoam and build a myIcoFsiFoam as per Karl Jacob Maus's instructions.

I wanted to know what steps I should take in-order to prescribe a specific type of motion, to the solid structure, whilst allowing it to deform due to fluid structure interaction.

My intention is to model a wing, executing wing motion, and capture the stress developed in the wing as it moves, both due to the wing motion and the deformation due to FSI effects.

Essentially I want to be able to combine the mesh motion possible in icoDyMFoam and icoFsiFoam.

Please let me know your suggestions.

Thank you
