Im trying to simulate a thin steel plate dropping through oil due to the force of gravity.
Currently I'm using the laminar flow, solid mechanics and moving mesh module, and whilst the model solves for pressure and velocity, the steel plate doesn't seem to move.
Can anyone provide any incite into why the plate isn't moving. I have added a prescribed displacement to the steel plate, which moves the plate by a function of gravity over time.
The steel plate is initially submerged within the oil, but I would eventually like it to start outside the oil, surrounded by air.
Thanks allot,
Ben
