Hi, I'm trying to simulate water flow around a rotating 3D marine propeller using ANSYS Fluent 15.0. I have the IGES file of my propeller, I have imported it into DesignModeler, generated it, then added an enclosure from Tools > Enclosure, generated it. I then opened Meshing and generated mesh. Please see attached images geometry.png and mesh.png

Now when I start Fluent, it does some processing and shows "Preparing mesh for display.. done". But the blades of my propeller are gone from the mesh. Please see fluent.png

Can anybody please help? Image links:

Kindly post in your files. Let other take a look at it. From which software did you export and what type of IGES??
