Fan Rotation Animation

Sorry if this seems too easy to be posted as a topic, but I am very new to the animation of Inventor. I am using Inventor 2008 and I am trying to get the blades in this centrifugal fan to rotate for an animation. Ideally I would like for the fan to slowly speed up, but just getting a rotation movement would be a start.

Hoping somebody can help. Thanks

I didn't actually animate it to test the results - but this should get you started.
Go to Inventor Studio and run the Play Animation.

You are going to want to experiment with the Acceleration of the Drive This angle constraint and the number of revolutions and time. I suspect it will never appear entirely correct until the animation is rendered.
