Hello All,
I am new to SU2. I want to perform unsteady forced motion simulations on a 3D wing + control surface. I want to drive the control surface motion with prescribed deformations and assess the aerodynamic impact on the wing. I looked at the tuturials and I cannot find anything similar. Does anyone have experience with such simulations in SU2?

Many thanks for your help!

If you are using pySU2 (the python API that wraps the C++ source code), then you can try the following functions:

        for iVertex in range(self.nVertexMarker):
            self.solver.SetVertexCoordX(self.MarkerID, iVertex, newXCoord)
            self.solver.SetVertexCoordY(self.MarkerID, iVertex, newYCoord)
            self.solver.SetVertexCoordZ(self.MarkerID, iVertex, newZCoord)
            self.solver.SetVertexVarCoord(self.MarkerID, iVertex)

        self.solver.StaticMeshUpdate()

NOTE: appropriate settings like design variable parameters, grid deformation parameters, and free-form deformation parameters will have to be specified in the SU2 config file
