Hi,

I am trying to simulate a room in Fluent with a ceiling fan, but I am not sure how to start or if it is possible to do this?

Before you build the simulation model, you have to determine the object of your simulation. Models varies for different objects.

Hi all I am trying to simulate a ceiling fan in a square room. I am first wondering the best approach for creating a room model and then how to use a rotating fan in a simulation.

What do you mean by "creating a room model"?.
From your question, it seems that you are a CFD beginer. So my suggestion to you is to try to do some tutorials, using the CFD tool which you have in your institute. Then try to find a tutorial which is similar to your case. If not available, read the user guide manual to find the way how to setup the rotating part and to go ahead.

Wishing you all the best and success

Its possible.
Work out some tutorials under Rotating reference frames in FLUENT.The boundary conditions for this problem are a bit tricky though I guess

you need to use rotating reference frame to model the fan motion in fluent and in every CFD software available.I have never seen any CFD package which doesn't have the Rotating reference frames
