Help with motion video and power analysis of a non standard wind turbine design.

For a project in school, I was trying to augment my presentation with a flow analysis of a wind turbine blade I designed in inventor, and wanted to have an animation of it spinning according to the wind input, and also have statistics about potential power output. While I know I might have to do some calculation with angular rotation speed in order to find overall power, I was hoping to get some help on getting the blade to spin. I have been able to see the blade spin before I run the solve, by altering the start position, however whenever I solve, the blade doesn't seem to move, and I can't make any animated images or videos of the process. I made sure all the geometry was satisfactory, and created a volume in the CFD program itself. I tried using the motion, but I also heard of some people using rotational area, which I don't know how to do. If anyone could help at all please let me know! I can any files you may need, but attached below is the blade design as an inventor part. Thanks!
