[DesignModeler] Rotating the geometry

gill11a · January 28, 2015, 13:28

Is there a way to rotate a geometry by 90 degress in design modeler. I made a geometry with rotational axis as y axis, but later figured out that Fluent does axisymmetric modelling taking x axis as rotational axis only. So i need to rotate the geometry by a right angle.

Hi Gill11a,

You can rotate the body by "Body Transformation"
Select all the bodies and choose you axis according to fluent and you should be fine

Hope it helps

Cheers
