I have a Solidworks Flow licence in test use for 15 days.

If you have any basic shapes and ideas you would like to test in 2d or 3d make some rough sketch what is the situation and why you would like to know what is happening.

First I will test some tire shapes and deflectors infront and behind the tires.

In my calculations the wind speed is set to 100km/h or 27,77m/s. Some calculations have ground effect taken into account, but specially the first ones its not taken into account.
