hi

great post keep the simulations coming. i wish someone would do this for a hatch back.

Question: what objective function are we trying to minimize here? speaking in 3D terms -is it important to just minimize the VOLUMEof blue stuff or is it important to minimize the REAR CROSS SECTION of car that separation occurs from?
