fluiddynamic study on 3dm files

[marco_idi]

Hello, everyone! I'm about to graduate and have a problem with my thesis. I have a car file, made by a former student in rhino, with 3dm extension. My professor wants me to study the aerodynamics and told me to use flow simulation of solidworks but I'm finding incredible difficulties with exporting and remodeling the original file.
you know how to give me some tips on what software I could use to do this study? a program that doesn't give me problems in managing the 3dm file.
Thank you.

to use simulation flow you must create a closed polysurface, while maybe those who have worked in rhino have not been attentive to the edges. then, or do a great job in rhino to close all the edges and create a solid closed, then bring in solidworks, or change software.
You could use openfoam, working with mesh in stl format, but they still have to be closed. So you have to make the mesh of your machine, verify that it is closed, and feed it to openfoam that as simplicity equals to dialogue with a Turkish.
I don't know what road I'd choose, I'm still uphill both.

Good. the first road has already been widely evaluated also disturbing several people and all told me that it is an exaggerated job not to say in fact. If you tell me that the second road is not easy, I'd say I'm gone. . .

using openfoam is not really banal, and anyway you have to start from a solid closed, but being made in stl (mesh triangular) is perhaps easier to close. I am not an expert in working with rhino mesh, I use other programs for meshare, but still I think you should waste a lot of time.
then between openfoam and flow simulation I would tell you that as a student I would undoubtedly use the first.
you open a world, to use flow simulation there's always time, you can watch some tutorials, there's the classic flow over the biker, of which you can see many pictures.

test flow design by autodesk. the student license is free and has no limirations. acts as a pure wind tunnel, here you do not calculate dynamic pressure, turbulence or other things
