Hi Bill, it's clear to me that I can define multiple grids to move, my doubt is how overture evaluate the forces on shared grids. Let us say the physical boundaries are given by 1)rod-grid __ | | | | | | | | * * * * * * and 2) stretched-cylinder-grid * * * * * * ----- ------ | | | | | ________ | (my best cylinder in ASCII...) where I've indicated with * the shared boundaries and with lines - | _ the unshared ones. The the whole grid I move by saying "moving grids... specify grids... stretched-cylinder-grid and rod-grid" is given by 1+2) __ | | | | | | | | * * * * * * ----- ------ | | | | | ________ | and this is ok, the shared boundaries have been superimposed. In the MovingGridsClass I read that the program iterates on each point of each sub-grid to evaluate the fluid forces/torque on the body { ... (for b=0, b<body, b++) integrate(I1,I2,I3,f) ... } Are not then the shared points * counted twice in this way, one for each sub-grid? Or, if there's a routine in the shared configuration that avoid this, where is located in the code? Thanks!

I noticed that actually in this way I build up 2 separate physical boundaries ("sail-grid" and "stretched-mast-grid" in the sampleGrids), that are connected sharing a part of the boundary. I wonder if is then possible to run this grid under the RigidBodyMotion Class: Which grid(s) should I move? If both of them, does the shared boundary option take into account that part of the sail is included in two different grids when computing fluid-dynamic forces on the whole body? This should work. After defining the type of motion you can choose multiple grids to move. The forces will be computed on the entire body. ...Bill
