    Hi,

    The cylindrical boundaries are fixed and can't rotate.  You can have rotating geometry with the boundaries, so long as the geometry and rotation is periodic.  I.e. if you have 4 identical blades each at 90 degrees on a rotating geometry then you would be able to add a 90 degree cylindrical boundary.

    Regards
