Solidworks Flow express and flow stimulation doesn't have any separate forums so I don't know where to post this.

Hello, I am stimulating working of a vortex tube using Solidworks Flow stimulation. Can someone help me with setting the Boundary Conditions?? I am not sure what boundary condition should I give for inlet and outlets
There is rotation of flow so should I select Rotation in the options? (Global or Local rotation??)

For Inlet should I give total pressure or static pressure? Or Should it be mass flow or any other?
I have air at 6 bar flowing in through it.

What should be the outlet? the outlets are open to atmosphere and air flows out at atmospheric pressure.

outlet should be zero, and inlet should be 6bar.. you can define a mass flow rate or a velocity, but I don't think that will be necessary.
