No. I've taken several Solidworks classes at the very local city college. I believe I have a current code to use the student version at home. The Sunswift article is good and talks about CFD with ANSYS. I wonder if Solidworks has (or has available) a suitable CFD function (I believe it does). With that I could draw and hopefully test different total car ideas to decide which direction might be best. For example:
- AST-based
- BOcruiser-based (solar car cruiser class)
- Rebodied Model T (similar to the one featured here at Ecomodder, highboy, open wheel with skirts)
- Modified '61 Ranchero
- Modified AMC/Hudson/Nash Metroplitan
- Modified '49-'53 Hudson (Hornet, Wasp, Pacemaker)
- LSR (land speed racing) pumpkin seed with a bigger passenger compartment
