It looks like you have no geometry in your simulation (wind is blowing in an empty box). The files are correctly placed and scaled?TalnoRacing wrote:There is a lot of data in them, but everything is "0".CAEdevice wrote:What about the numbers in the files of the "post processing" directory?

Yes this is correct. When I open "case.foam" in Paraview, there is the bounding box only, no car.CAEdevice wrote:It looks like you have no geometry in your simulation (wind is blowing in an empty box).

I'm using Sketchup, then exporting to .stl using a plugin. I've checked the .stl files in meshlab and all is good. They're just too bigcdsavage wrote:What are you using to produce the model?Alonso Fan wrote:ok so I've completed my car today, but my combined file size is 100mb. what should I do?
If your plugin doesn't have any setting, you can try with meshlab, it has some functions to collapse triangles.Alonso Fan wrote:I'm using Sketchup, then exporting to .stl using a plugin.

Obviously yes. Ask Chris or Julien I always submitted multiple cars close the the deadline. I am almost sure it was never the best car in the end. Whatever you do the last car you submitted before I shut down the upload options will be the one you race with.CAEdevice wrote:In case I had a new idea tonight: would it be possible to replace the submission (before the deadline) with an update, as we did last year?
Well, you could try to find the export options in your CAD software and relax the accuracy settings of the stl export. Some teams have submitted their cars already and they only need a few MB, so it is possible to be well below 20MB and the car will look perfectly fine.Alonso Fan wrote:ok so I've completed my car today, but my combined file size is 100mb. what should I do?
It is probably a bit late to get this solved properly, but make sure to use ascii stl files (your uploaded files seem fine), make sure that MantiumWFlow does not show any warning or error messages and have a look at a line that should look something like this:TalnoRacing wrote:Yes I checked again. This is the result in the solver file:
Coefficients
Cm : 0 (pressure: 0 viscous: 0)
Cd : 0 (pressure: 0 viscous: 0)
Cl : 0 (pressure: 0 viscous: 0)
Cl(f) : 0
Cl(r) : 0
I get this for each time interval.
Code: Select all

... and done.
