Problem with Local Rotating Region feature

Tom Sawyer Feb 1, 2011 8:59 AM

Hi,

I've been trying to use the Local Rotating Region on a component (stirrer - see attached pictures) but to no avail.

I've first disabled the component in Component Control Dialog box and then apply the local rotating region. Unsuccessful till now.

Is my stirrer not meeting the conditions for local rotating region? (according to me, the stirrer's axis of revolution is coinciding with the rotation axis)

I've also attached the file in case you would want to have a glance.

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thnx

I did not look at your file. You need two components - one is the impeller. The other is a surface of revolution that encloses the impeller. It is hte surface of revolution that you disable. check out the tutorial example. in the install directory.

  hehe, you were right. No need to look at the file !
  
  Now I understand what Flow Simulation Help means by 'Frame of Reference'.
  
  thanks Bill !!
