Dynamic meshing 2 stroke engine issue

[tonisantos]

Hello everyone,
im a 5th year student and I am doing my final project which consists on analyzing the scavenging process of a 2 stroke opposed piston engine, but I am having a hard time creating the UDF for the dynamic meshing thing.
Could anyone please help me?

OK, first, what part of the mesh needs to move? Why do you not just apply a time-dependent boundary condition?

Also, what is a UDF file? I assume something related to the grid motion.

UDF (user defined function) is required to get dynamic meshes working...
I need to move 2 piston heads inside the same cilinder in oposite directions

Right, we use CFX here, so I'm not familiar with these UDFs.

Hello, I am also simulating a two stroke opposed piston engine. Has anyone managed to program a UDF for the dynamic mesh please? Thanks.
