Flow works animations can beu used similar to Solidworks animator.
You can create keyframes and store different view points. If you
right click on the assembly tree while editing an animation you can
uncheck the "Lock Orientation" option. Once you have done that,
move the time bar (drag it) to a particular time frame and then
insert a control point to store the view zoom information. You can
toggle the lock orientation on or off to protect your settings.
Yes it works. But I still try to get smooth rotation...
The next case is :
I have a mixer system with a "blade" in the rotary shaft.
I want to analyze the trajectory of using the A vs B blade below.
How to setup and calculate that ?
Hi Ahmad,
If you want to analyze a rotating fan, then you need to use the
rotating region approach. You will not see the fan animate in the
results, but it correctly accounts for the flow through the baldes.
There are examples in the Flow Simulation tutorials for rotating
regions (rotating impeller, CPU cooler).
Also read the technical reference guide in the installation folder
(in the lang folder under docs for your given language). This will
give you understanding of the theory and application.

I am usure about the rotating fan though.
