Moving bodies

Hello,
I am new to Elmer. I need to tweak the position of one body independent of others in order to see the result. I was wondering whether it is possible in Elmer or other software should be used?

It is possible in Elmer, the rigid mesh mapper solver can move a body prior to another solution starting.
see models manual page 218, and there are test cases in the test files.
It could be easier in whatever meshing tool you used to create the mesh, assuming you used one.
You could just manually edit the node values in the mesh.node file.
