Radial Gate Movement

MSM1985 · October 15, 2019, 08:32

I am trying to move a radial gate around its trunion in Flow 3D. In fact its a gate opening scenario. The radial gate opening rate is 0.5 m/s. Can anyone guide me about General Moving Object settings in this case ???

The picture of radial gate as attached.

Looks like the gate will open with a certain angular velocity. You can assign the angular velocity of the rotation of the gate in the moving objects model. Please read the documentation to know more about the moving objects model.

Dear Adawith, thanks for your reply. I have already cracked the solution with coarser mesh. Now trying to do this with finer mesh !

Mr. Waqas,
Import that gate as STL file from autocad with barrage geometry, from your 2D drawing.
