Reply To: Why Negative Moment – Wind Turbine – & Residuals

OK, you've used 6DOF to calculate the rotation speed. So, the incoming wind will cause the blades to move at a rate defined by the 6DOF solver. That needs to be checked to ensure it makes sense. 

Named Selections move over to Fluent as boundary labels, and these are then picked for the various boundary conditions etc. 

Force reports are based on a vector. I can't remember about moments other than the axis of rotation is important. Coefficients are another one to watch, read the definitions carefully when using those.
