Or doodle and compare and use fuzzy logic until your home-brew 1 off is good enough.

I think it's a bit extreme for all the issues mentioned by ttoyoda. I'd clip it off at a point where it's close enough, but thats me.
I'm not trying to divert this thread , but I looked at OPENFOAM, and I think it is just for Linux. Also, it apparently takes a knowledge of math to use it - so that leaves me out.

I have a model of this very car. ( an early model CRX )
I'm not sure if it is in a correct format for me to use though ( it is a .DWG )


I was also modeling a VW Jetta for use in some CFD testing.

Perhaps I could post the model of the CRX here, and one of you guys with the brains could figure out OPENFOAM.
