The setup of sliding or periodic boundaries is invalid

does anyone know how to solve this problem?, i’m trying to analyze propeller in incompressible transient analysis with AMI rotating zone

Hi there,
Thank you for posting on the forum!
Can you please share your project link? We can then take a look :slight_smile:

Hello @banugerah !

When using the AMI rotating zones, the rotating region is physically rotated and in each time step the flow variables are interpolated between two contact interfaces - rotating region and stationary region. Hence, it’s extremely important the rotation axis and point on axis is properly defined under the AMI settings.

I can see that currently the rotation axis is defined in positive z direction, although I think it should be in y direction, correct? When the rotating region is rotated with respect to z axis, the contact interpolation can not be performed, then you face this error message.

I hope this would be helpful,
Kaan
