I just checked the scrutineering from the last round, and yes you had no problems then, and since we've not changed the rules at all, your car from the last round would be fully compliant for this year.

That is good news for me. I think I will subscribe as soon as possible, probably using that car or a very similar one for the first race. Thanks!
I would not say that using the same car will guarantee a legal car. We could have missed something the last time which might catch our eyes this time.
my post processing images go into the folder where the case folder is located. Eg i have it setup mvrc->teamlogozzo->input->geometry... and my images go into the root mvrc folderLVDH wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 9:47 amSo, I have been able to reproduce some of the issues Variante has reported to me. It is possible that the MFlow post-processing dumps the images and so on into the wrong destination. I will have to investigate this and it might take a while as it is a bit strange for the software to not find the correct folder but simply choose a different one.
Has nobody else seen this? Do you all get a normal report and the images are in postProcessing/PICs?
Can confirm post proc images all go in root directory.LVDH wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 9:47 amSo, I have been able to reproduce some of the issues Variante has reported to me.

I can confirm too. Not a big deal for me.jjn9128 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 10:47 amCan confirm post proc images all go in root directory.LVDH wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 9:47 amSo, I have been able to reproduce some of the issues Variante has reported to me.

Ok, this is correct.
For me smoothing edges is a big one. It is great because it is "free" ie you don't remove downforce. If you need more, then remove/reduce gurney flaps look at reducing wings.
Depends what you classify as struggling. Some leaders from last year had way more drag than I would consider acceptable but their downforce was great. I'm aiming for ~1.3 but anything under 1.4 is acceptable assuming I can get an L/D >2.
This is a big deal to me. I took the last few days off and actually did almost nothing in front of a computer. I will try to fix this odd big tomorrow evening. The good news is that I can reproduce it, so it should be solvable. When it is done, you will get the full CFD report as html file, which you can then conveniently view in your browser. When you then understand what you are missing out on, you might think that is was a bigger deal than you believe right now.wb92 wrote: ↑Sun Apr 12, 2020 1:35 pmI can confirm too.

I would say there's enough 3-d about the flow, of the front wing in particular, that's it's not worth the time on 2-d simulations. The rear wing will then have a vertical component in the flow leading up to it so your 2-d won't necessarily translate.
Thanks! I will check it outjjn9128 wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 10:55 amThere was a bit of talk of wing design in the 2019 thread. Which might be a good start point.Salamander wrote: ↑Thu Apr 16, 2020 9:15 am

If you really want to do it. There's a tutorial in openfoam for 2-d wing which I'd suggest copying.
