Does Overset Mesh method in Fluent are supported buy "2-way Fluent coupling" with Ansys Rocky? 

There are two rigid bodies inside the fluid domain, and they need to achieve the reciprocating motion shown in the figure.

1. Due to the large range of motion, a dynamic mesh must use Remeshing, but this method is not compatible with coupling with Rocky 。

i.Remeshing is not compatible with sub-stepping method8.4. 2-way coupling limitations。

ii.Dynamic meshes (deforming meshes and remeshing) are not supported2.3. Ansys Rocky Coupling with other Ansys Software.

2.Fluent-Rocky coupling supports the use of Mesh Motions (implemented through sliding mesh), however, rigid body motion in this case cannot use sliding mesh.6.3. Lagrangian to Eulerian mapping6.3.2.5. Mapping across sliding interfaces

So，if Overset Mesh method in Fluent are supported buy "2-way Fluent coupling" with Ansys Rocky
