Hi All,
I am looking to run a simulation which include an off-centre mechanical agitator and an obstacle in the way. My problem is that there is no inlet or outlet. Apologies if this is a simple question. Can this be done?
Thank you in advance for all your help.
Adam
Hi @alee,
first of all a warm welcome from my side. Happy you found your way to SimScale. 
Concerning your project you might have a look at this project: Stirred reactor free surface flow
Is that the type of analysis you were looking for? If you could upload your model and tell me some more details what properties/settings your simulation needs to have, that would be the first step to start with your project. Looking forward to helping you!
Best,

Thanks for the kind welcoming @jousefm,
Please see the link below i am working on. I would like to see if the current agitator location/blades etc are causing dead areas within the pot. I am not sure if you will be able to access it let me know…
Regards,
Adam
Hi again @alee!
There are some points that need to be fixed regarding the CAD model in order to continue with the simulation.
You can clear the unnecessary features in the shaft next to the blades (and unnecessary features in general that have no impact on the solution)
Create two seperate cylinders that represent the rotation zone in order to create a cellZone
See also \rightarrow Hex-dominant Parametric mesh for rotating geometries
If you fix these issues we can continue with the meshing. Let me know how things are going.
Best,
Jousef
