[ICEM] Rotating Mesh Problem

sghosh55 · October 5, 2013, 10:07

I am working on Vertical axis H type Darrieus turbine. I have taken 3 blades for meshing. I have created circular domain around the blades. I have meshed the circular domain around one blade using structured meshing option in ICEM CFD and while rotating the geometry, block and mesh, my meshing is done. But it is showing errors while reading in Fluent. I have gone for structured meshing for the entire domain. My concern is that I want to name each of the fluid domain around the 3 blades as Fluid_domain1, Fluid_domain2 & Fluid_domain3 but after rotating the mesh I am unable to change the block names. Also after rotating the geometry and block, I am again associating each of the blocks with each of the blades and then convert the entire structured mesh to unstructured mesh but there is error while reading in fluent. Kindly help me as soon as possible. I am working on this project and I have to finish the simulation as soon as possible. I just want three meshes around the 3 blades with 3 different block(fluid domain names).

Can you attach some pictures?
