Specifiying rotational axis' - a bit stuck

Hi everyone
I have 3 turbines in a volume and wish to rotate them all. I have actually posted about this before but i have come across a couple of issues. - when i specify my rotational axis origin for each of my walls, which point should i choose? Is it any point along the line which runs normal to the wall plane? (through the middle of it) - when i am specifying my rotation axis origin for my fluid (water) do which point do i choose fort this? I have tried the point in the centre of the inlet face but this gives wrong results Im pretty stuck here, so any help would be most appreciated Cheers D |

rotation axis is vector quantity, when fluid zone rotated in center of coordinate, you need spesified what is axis, typicalluy in x, y and z, see your geometry to find its x,y, z direction ( if x your axis, you shoul type x=1,y=o and z=0, instead of case y as rotational axis, x=0,y=1 and z=o)
