Thanks Halfina! I'm glad it was clear :) I have to admit this one really wasn't easy (still today it's a very complex topic for me as well :) )

This was fantastic. I feel I have a stronger understanding already of the nature of airflow simulations using nodes or point vectors to simulate physical forces. I was really impressed by how the software is able to separately analyze pressure and friction. I think some really interesting software would be somewhat preventative in my mind, analyzing where specific points could create critical disturbances in airflow and potential hazardous events. Thank you for sharing this video in a clear and concise manner, and I fully intend to watch additional videos that you or your company has posted regarding aerodynamics and airflow.

@@marcnobel3938 Hi Marc, ah that's pretty soon then, nice! Keep in mind that in theory, there is no need to make the models watertight for AirShaper. But of course, gaps & holes that are large enough to impact aerodynamics should be closed. Feel free to reach out at wouter@airshaper.com to continue the discussion!

Can manufacturers apply design boxes in order to make a bicycle frame stiffer in one area versus another?
@AirShaper Жыл бұрын
This method is to optimize the aerodynamics, not the mechanical properties. For that, similar methods exist, like OptiStruct or Inspire.

Wow I actually considered optimising shapes following a similar technique. I didn't know it was already implemented. Any ideas on how I can apply and say read more?

I would recommend exploring the adjoint optimization libraries of SU2 and OpenFOAM. Not easy, but very powerful.

How do I learn how to do this? Because it sure as shit wasn't taught to me at one of the top mechanical engineering schools in the world lol
@AirShaper2 жыл бұрын
One way is to dig into OpenFOAM (www.openfoam.com) and first learn how to run CFD simulations and then how to run adjoint shape optimizations. Definitely doable (even I can do it, which says a lot). The other option is to run such simulations via our platform, where we have automated literally everything, from 3D model to finished 3D morphed model. Just give me a shout at wouter@airshaper.com!
