I am sure the cars will produce less downforce and will be much less efficent (top teams from cl/cd around 7 to cl/cd around 3.7 or less considering the KVRC F1 cars)etsmc wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 05:37Yes Variante is certainly looking like a sure thing for the championship, he already has alot of development and understanding under his belt with what he was doing here viewtopic.php?f=14&t=27159
I am interested to see what sort of number people will be getting on their first car and how they progress. Also the gap between the top 3 and the rest of the field.
Will we see the cars producing more or less downforce than the LMP style cars and will we see the efficiency up there?
It is pretty simple. You have to open up the stlSamples file in the system folder of your case. There you changeetsmc wrote: ↑28 Mar 2019, 04:47
How can I see the flow on a monitoring surface just like you have on the linked page?

Code: Select all
surfaceFormat null;
Code: Select all
surfaceFormat vtk;
Code: Select all
writeFields false;
Code: Select all
writeFields true;
Code: Select all
mpirun -np $nCPUs simpleFoam -postProcess -latestTime -parallel
Yeah, no problem.
cool thanks. This is awsome should help with development. So close i can feel that sense of dissapointment after the first race and i am so far behind. .LVDH wrote: ↑02 Apr 2019, 09:48It is pretty simple.

toCode: Select all
surfaceFormat null;
andCode: Select all
surfaceFormat vtk;
toCode: Select all
writeFields false;
Then you execute this command in the case folder:Code: Select all
writeFields true;
You will then find vtk files in the postProcessing folder in the folders corresponding to the surfaces.Code: Select all
mpirun -np $nCPUs simpleFoam -postProcess -latestTime -parallel
Yeah, no problem.
Today Richard sent me his first version of the CAD parts for the new season. There is still some work that needs to be done, but it was fantastic to see the first F1 parts on my computer this morning. It should not take too long for us any more to provide you with a first set of rules, so you can start designing.
Positive attitude!
Yes, it is free and open source. The new assembly workbench (after release 0.18) is very promising (assembly has always been a weak point of FreeCAD). Parametric CAD is a bit slower when we start a model from zero, but it improves "fine tuning" process very much.machin wrote: ↑04 Apr 2019, 14:03Positive attitude!
On a different topic: Now I've had a play with it I can confirm the statements made by Matteo and others: FREECAD seems to be a really good free alternative to Solidworks.... definitely recommended to anyone who wants to have a go at Parametric modelling...
Good idea. But you will include the diffuser too?
FreeCAD native! Thanks!
