layerAdditionRemoval polyTopoChanger not working properly while used with displacementLayeredMotion solver
Summary
I found an issue while trying to use the displacementLayeredMotion solver with the layerAdditionRemoval functionality. Basically, I'm trying to use it for a toy case, which i have two moving walls, with a predetermined displacement in a certain direction, where I want to add and remove the cells to simulate the movement of these walls. Initially everything works fine, until a certain topology change is needed, at this moment the layerAdditionRemoval polyTopoChanger seems to fail to construct the new group of cells at the left side of the domain (the side that is expanding).
Steps to reproduce
The case is attached with an Allrun.
Example case
retangularLayerAdditionRemoval.tar.xz
What is the current bug behaviour?
While constructing a new group of cells due to the layerAdditionRemoval, it fails, constructing wrong oriented cells with negative volume.
What is the expected correct behavior?
The expected result should be something like this: layerADDrm
