Moving or rotating a mesh over a fixed distance or fixed angle

To simulate a scoop I would need the scoop mesh to move over a fixed distance and to rotate for a fixed angle sequentially. I tried to use a timestep calculated like this

variable deltatime equal sqrt(${rho}/($E/(2*(1+$v))))*c_minradi*PI/(0.1631*$v+0.876605)/5

and the set velocity of the mesh used in the

fix movecad1 all move/mesh mesh cad1 linear 0.0 0.0 ${scm1d}

to get the required number of timesteps

variable scmn equal ${scm1h}/${scm1v}/${deltatime}
variable scmnr equal round(${scmn})
run ${scmnr}

However, the total moved distance seems to be much less than expected.
Is there an extra scaling involved or do I use the wrong timestep?
