Hi everybody
I am finally getting loose with solidworks.
After running on my laptop the flowsimulation of my design and suspending the calculations after 27 hours I got the following pressure plots.
Would you be so kind to comment if i can draw any conclusions out of those pictures? How looks the LE and TE fairings. As I get low pressure below the wing should I depress the fuse intersection until the pressure distribution gets even?
Would you use the drag simulation? Are the absolute values meaningless but could the relative comparison be useful?
I tought I would get a pressure distribution at the belly to locate the cooling air outlet but it seems the pressure is totally even and the location is arbitrary.
Thx for any opinionreardown.jpgtopsideview.jpgsidefrontview.jpgsideviewpressure.jpg
