CAD Models

[iainjones]

Has anyone ever done a 3D CAD model of a Wedge?

I only ask cos i'm playing with some new CFD software at work and want to try getting some airflows etc etc as an interesting way to learn the package.

If anyone can help please get intouch.

Regards
Iain

Hi Iain, not yet, but does your CFD program read ProEngineer 3D models ?

Check this out - its a "design a Wedge package" as used by TVR in the mid eighties

3D??!! I'd settle for being able to draw a wedge in 2D in AutoCAD...

Hi, not ProE native no, well it does just we dont use ProE so havent got the relevent licence. Iges/step works fine.

Were using Autodesk Inventor/Ansys Professional/CFX5 if thats of any help

Cheers mate! Have a very crude model now, traced around a photo and extruded the basic siluette. It gives an idea of what i wanted to do...going to be fitting a reworked front dam and a gurney flap to the trailing edge of the roof me thinks...will post some images somewhere eventually.

I thought TVR's CAD package was a block of foam and a chainsaw .. oh - and Ned the dog
