Hi All,

I am trying to model the rigid body motion of a turbine rotating around a main rotation point. The turbine blades are hinged around their own rotational point, which in turn rotate around the main rotation point. Attached image should clarify.

The catch is that the blades can also rotate and are not fixed to the axis.

I know how to do this when I prescribe the motion, but can this be modelled in fluent as rigid bodies, e.g. flow drive solution.

Thanks
