Several months ago, I came across a video on some beta CFD software. I think it Autodesk that was testing it.
What excited me, was that it has "predictive CFD " perhaps using A.I.
You would input a model, and the system would make suggestions on problem areas and solutions.
You could also test out certain additions, such as fairings and covers.
They came in a library much like the primatives used in 3D programs.
Apparently, the testing didn't go anywhere, and that's the last I have read of it.
I bookmarked it and forgot about it ( lost somewhere now )
However, I see AirShaper is offering something slightly similar.
It runs the test and can optimize your creation .

I'd love to see some of us do some testing on our cars in CFD.
I think we take a lot of crap because eventhough our aeromods can be proven to work by simply showing an increase in MPG, common people are more impressed to see some pretty CFD pictures alongside some cD data that shows a change.
