SW Floworks wind tunnel simulation
Griffo - 12/4/08 at 02:58 PM

I could really use the help of someone who knows how to use Floworks to determine the drag force.

I already have my assembly drawing of the car and have tried using the wizard but when I run the solver I get an error saying that there is no working fluid or something to that effect. Unfortunately it takes about an hour to get to that conclusion so I cant run the test right now to get the exact error message.

If anyone has any idea what im doing wrong or can help in anyway it will be much appreciated.

Thanks

I don't this particlar package but would seem to indicate you haven't set up the boundary flow conditions at inlet.

You are probably right, i tried following the tutorial and it didn't mention anything about it.

i Dont actually know how to set up the inlet :-S its the first time ive ever used CFD software
