Hi All,

Do we have a model in prepomax that helps us in calculating axial + radial force of a centrifugal fan?.

Not really. Maybe this one from CalculiX website will help: [CALCULIX: A Three-Dimensional Structural Finite Element Program](https://www.calculix.de/fw05lat.html)

But you can even look for Abaqus examples (there are many) and recreate them in PrePoMax. The workflow is pretty similar and keywords are mostly the same too.

Of course, there are simple examples of shafts and discs subjected to centrifugal force and solved using cyclic symmetry in CalculiX and PrePoMax.

that’s an awesome model
