Hi! I am fairly new to Simscale and CFD, so I am sorry if I am missing on something obvious. I want to simulate the airflow around F1 rear wing model I made in CAD, but I am struggling to do so…
I made the:
Enclosure;
Set boundary conditions (velocity inlet, pressure outlet, external walls (slip), wing (no-slip) and moving wall);
Filled in the ‘force and moment coefficients’ (free stream velocity: 100km/h) & ‘forces and moments’;
Generated a hex-dominant (moderate) mesh with region (max edge: 0.01m) and surface refinement (min: 0.05m, max: 0.1m).
Still, I can’t get a simulation with the pressure distribution, when post-processing (after setting the parts color to pressure) it stays in solid red. I tried following this tutorial in two studies, but I only managed to get it working once. When I check the study in post-processing, it yields a particle trace like the image below. Could anyone assist me on this?
I checked the link that you sent (the first one). This coloring issue is explained in this post as well:
My initial advice would be to keep the half model simulation instead of the full one. If the model is indeed symmetric, it would be a waste to create a mesh for the latter.
Also, it would be great if you switched to the Standard mesher instead of using the Hex dominant. You can use this tutorial as reference:
This uses the default settings, two cartesian boxes for region refinements, and a local element size refinement that is applied on the surface of the body.
