Giving Rotation to the propeller

mdgowhar · July 31, 2014, 04:01

Hi all

I have setup a case that has a body with propeller in front of it. 2 months before i ran the case it was successfully running. Now again i modify the geometry and used the same propeller. I created a motion in tools for Rotation of the Propeller. I try to give the motion to the propeller region in the physical value tree. I cant find Rotation option. i can see only Stationary. I rechecked all the things. In my old sim file i can see it but not in new setup file. i have attached the image. Please help me on this.

Make sure the physics have the unsteady model enabled.

Thanks.. I forgot to change it to unsteady model.
