Simple Drone Propeller Simulation

I designed a propeller with CatiaV5 and imported it into simulink virtual reality animation.How do I induce a rotation motion about its central axis to the propeller? I've tried using the approach used in the simulink file that opens when you run 'vrmemb1' in matlab command window,it makes the proppeller rotate but not on its center axis.

Do you have access to SimScape Multibody? If so that is an easier solution.

I've been there.Simscape multibody is already installed in my version of Matlab.I opened Matlab as adminstrator,did everything I was told to do in the links below,but Matlab command window says smlink_linksw is not a function in Matlab. I'm using version 2017a. https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/smlink/ug/installing-and-linking-simmechanics-link-software.html https://www.mathworks.com/help/physmod/smlink/ref/linking-and-unlinking-simmechanics-link-software-with-solidworks.html

Did you follow all the steps here? Otherwise you could upload the VR animation so we can help edit it.

I've attached a simulink file,I've not used any code so far.
