Backup the working directory first, then you should run the post processing utility.

Post process it. Will generate an html report. It's the other program that comes with the graphical setup program.

Or you can open the case in the gui again and hit post process from there, easier for beginners

Whew what a labour (that’s a Dutch saying :p)
I got my first report!! Thanks everyone for the help. Now I’m gonna do some reading how to read those reports :)

One question: in the results I saw cars running with less power then 100%. Why is that?
Oh and another: for now I’ll stick with the intro car but if I want to design my own parts will solidworks do?

Cars with inadequate cooling or engine inlets will have less than 100% power. Don't worry about it for the intro class car. It has plenty of cooling.

Yes solidworks is fine, I use it

Good work!
And a big thank you to everyone who helped. It is always good to see that you guys help each other out, as I cannot be everywhere.

Next race is near: Le Mans would be a pretigious victory. I hope to struggle with more teams than JJR (we have been challenging each race for two years!) and sometimes Rjsa (all time best rookie).

Variante and TF: are you ready?

Nope :D

Is the deadline 3rd December or 10th?

Nope :D

Today I saw an animation with the new CAESES MVRC diffuser. It looks good and I gave it my thumbs up. It should be available for you guys very soon.

Nope!

Lots of simulations to run both for MVRC and IRL.

What is IRL, does MVRC have competition or are you working on Indy cars?

Sorry, it means In Real Life. No competition for MVRC though. Too many compromises and none of the fun competition...

Sorry to read this.

As promised, I am going to reveal the car I am testing for LeMans.

I added some small features (sorry Gary... additional work for the AssettoCorsa version!), now I have three simulation runs to decide which one will be on the car at LeMans.

The most important detail is the new airfoil coupled with a beam wing: I would like to solve a small separation issue that derives from the 2016 rear wing low downforce airfoil.
