The 3rd agitator is at the bottom of the tank and the diameter is 15\/16th of the diameter of the tank. I have gravity enabled with only the small agitators are rotating and everything looks good but when I enable the larger agitator it gives me an error that the rotating fluid zone is not alligned with gravity. The agitators are all rotating aroung the y-axis, and gravity is specified in the -Y direction.<\/p>\n<p>I was wondering if the size of the larger agitator could be causing the error, since it&#8217;s weird that the small agitators work fine with and without gravity, while the larger one only works if I turn off gravity. Any insight into this issue would be much appreciated, as I&#8217;ve done a fair bit of internet searching but can&#8217;t find much about this problem.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-360311","topic","type-topic","status-closed","hentry","topic-tag-ansys-discovery","topic-tag-gravity-1","topic-tag-rotating-domain"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"I am using Ansys Discovery to model a tank with 3 agitators, 2 of the agitators are at the top of the tank and their diameters are about 1\/8th of the diameter of the tank.
