After I importing the mesh, a black line and a white arrow appears. I know the black line is rotation axis. But what is the arrow?

It isn't the direction of rotation, is it?

I don't know how to insert image. T^T

It shows the direction of your impeller. If it is a compressor, your speed (rpm) needs to be of an opposite sign because it shows a wrong direction.

I changed the direction, and it achieved convergence.
Thank you so much!
