Hi everyone,
I'm trying to model two rotating discs with some radial plates between them, with axial flow.
The picture shown here:





Inlet mass flow is used in the bottom, outlet pressure in the end and rotational periodic in each side. All the walls are rotating around the x axis.
I have no problem with modeling just two rotating discs but when I add the radial plate to the geometry, I get this error at the the first step of solver.

| ERROR #002100080 has occurred in subroutine CHECK_NORMV.
| Message:
| The specified velocity vector on the boundary patch
| |
| Default Domain Default
| |
| has a significant normal component at one or more faces. One of
| these face locations is

| (x,y,z) = ( 4.43340E-03, 3.68905E-02, 5.00000E-04).

| The angle between the specified velocity and the element surface is
| 89.217 degrees at this face. This is considered an error because
| it implies that the mesh is moving. The following are possible
| reasons for the error message:
| 1. There is a setup error; for example, an incorrect axis of
| rotation.
| 2. There may be a meshing problem; for example, the nodes on a
| rotating surface might not lie on the surface of revolution.
3. The boundary is curved and the mesh is very coarse. In this
| case, you may increase the tolerance for this check by
| increasing the expert parameter 'tangential vector tolerance'
| from its default of 20 degrees.


The location (x,y,z) refers to the a point at the end of the plate.

P.S. I refined the mesh in that spot but it didn't work.
