Hello good mornig for everyone.
I am a mechanical engineering student and I am doing a TFG on the aerodynamics between the 2021 and 2022 F1 cars. It is my first time that I am going to do a CFD analysis and everything related.
The problem I have with my project is that when generating the mesh, the quality of the mesh is very low and I don’t know how to solve this error. I have made the configuration that I have in my project following the Formula SAE tutorial.

Hey there, thanks for using the forum!

Hi dbravos22,
I was surprised when I looked at the model with the regional and surface refinements and a mesh count of over 10million cells and the result of 0.001 for the mesh score.
I don’t know if you are aware of the mesh clip tool, it gives me a feel for the quality of the mesh, at times it can take a minute to load the result.
The reference provided by ggiraldof is good. I’d be interested to hear what your final solution was.

Hey Chuck, what surprised you? That the mesh has many cells and has low quality? The first thing I will do is clean the CAD model
Yes, I was a little surprised at the low quality that it reported on the mesh, given you had a largish number of cells, but I’m relatively new to simulations.
Look forward to seeing some results of your Simulation shortly 
Oh there’s is a lot of F1 simulation in the public projects and obviously the step by step tutorials on F1 / Car simulations by Simscale, so you should have plenty of guidance material available. A filter on F1 & favourites in the public projects should bring up a range of working models.
To model the whole F1 with and obtain meaningful results you will need many grid elements and correct B.L approaches to near-wall elements. Why not focus on a specific part of the F1 (i.e: Front wing?). I

Hi, because from the beginning I decided with my tutor to design and analyze the whole car and compare it with F1 2021.I know that it is a lot and that there will be errors, but we analyze it in broad strokes
Hello everyone, could someone take a look at the new simulation I’ve done and tell me how it is.It’s the “incomprehensible 2”. Thanks.
