When extracting the Torque, explain that the Moving Frame of Reference is used to calculate (FOR FEA) omega squared times the radius times the mas of each element to compute the force exerted by the fluid on the blades. (check Wind Blade 2 tutorial, under Physics Setup, second video, around 3:30. It is for FEA, we should get the analogy to fluid before).
