Hi everyone,
I was trying to simulate flow around a ducted fan. However, when I generated the flow trajectories, the arrows went directly through the propellers, instead of around them as you'd expect (see pic below).
Additionally, I got a very low force value (0.1N) as if the propellers weren't even there. I'm wondering if this has to do with the rotating region, which I choose as a solid cylinder instead of the actual propeller. For some reason SW wouldn't allow me to select the propellers for the rotating region.
I was wondering if this had something to do with the "disable solid components" in the rotating region GUI (see pic above). How can I get solidworks to recognize the propellers as the rotating region?
