Hello,

I am doing a project modeling a darrieus type wind turbine. I have created the following mesh, and am onto setting up a moving frame of reference. The only issue, is that the option to create mesh interfaces seems to be disabled. Please help!

In addition I have been using this guide as a reference: https://www.scribd.com/document/207377534/Fluent-Intro-14-5-WS06-Sliding-Mesh

 I made my own geometry using inventor and exporting it as an .igs file.

You need to check in Fluent whther the contacts are set to walls. If yes change bothbto interfaces and then create the interface connection

Hi! 

I tried to do what you said, but only had Fan, interior, porous jump, radiator, and wall as options. I've attached pictures of the interface I was trying to change. Thanks for your help!

I Figured it out! I just needed to have named selections in the mesh.

 

Turns out I got a little excited. I have the circular edges as interfaces, but from what I can tell you need two lines to create the interface. Please help!
