Hi,
Can anyone help me?.I want to build rotating sphere in 2D axis symmetric space .but I couldn't give boundary condition for rotating wall.please explain how to give it.
Thank you!

Hi Erandi,

You cannot put out-of-plane rotation explicitly in a 2D axisymmetric analysis. However, if the rotation speed is constant you should just apply the resulting in-plane centrifugal acceleration or body force.
