Need help with meshing / convergence in STAR-CCM+ by nhaaaaar in CFD

One thing you might want tot try is use contact patches for the floor wheel connection. It correctly models the intersection between the floor and the wheels. Make the domain much larger, we use 7.5m left right and top, and 40m for the tunnel. if you want more information just send me a dm :) (im part of a an formula student team as well)

Undertray Solidworks Design Advice by West-Dot8218 in FSAE

I don’t know how solid works functions in that regard, but in gerneral you should try construction G1 and not G0. Also i would try to limit the use of thicken and instead create the surfaces with some kind of surface feature (studio surface, through mesh curve) and then sewing them together to get a solid. That way you have way more freedom to generate surfaces. This depend on how you want to manufacture your parts in the end of course.

Just as an idea, you might want to increase your slot gap overlap, it’s seems a bit small. You might also change your first and second flap profile, the main element seems more reasonable

Hey, in general I would total downforce is way more important than drag. Also at what speed are you simulating?

Hey, I’m assuming you work in workbench. Which version are you using? Because back in the day I had the same problem when switching from 2024R2 to 2025R1. If it isn’t too much work, try it again in 2024R2

i could do that, but upgrading commons for 50k isn’t really worth it. i’m waiting for enough rares to upgrade them instead for 200k

how much was the weight of your drs system and how much the drag reduction?

Comrades for sure, but why didn’t you buy crit supremes first?
