Node coordinates in moving mesh

  In fluent, I am using moving mesh involving rotor and stator. However, for a given case, the node ccordinate in rotor changes after a given timestep. so is there any way that I can get same node ccordinates after a few time step.
  Note: After completion of 1 complete cycle also, the node number changes

  Hello,
  can you clarify your question? If your mesh is moving, wouldn't you expect for the node coordinates to change with time?

    Yes, the node coordinates will change but after completing a full rotation/cycle the node coordinates are changing whereas I thought that the node will occupy the same position after one complete cycle. Please clarify this portion.

      How far off are we talking about? And how are you ensuring that you are getting exactly 1 revolution?

      Becaue I have given a particular value of mesh rotation and timestep. Secomdly for a given problem, a maximum 1 degree rotation per timestep is restricted. And that is how the number of iteration (say 1000) required for a complete rotation can be found. I am just checking the node coordinates after that particluar number of iteration like at 2000, 3000, 4000 etc.
