Session 1: Aerodynamics in Drone Simulation

SimScale Workshops Drone Workshop (2015)

Hi Christopher,

thank you very much for your post and your kind words.

  1. As you may noticed our web-based post processing environment is still a beta. Our team is developing since several month a completely new version of the online post processor which will be available in the near future. We recommend therefore to use a local version of paraView which you can download for free.

Nevertheless, you can for sure use our online post processor, which is currently only supporting streamlines and slices.

Here are some resources for local post processing.

In the case you have not the possibility to run paraView locally we can prepare a short tutorial on the web-based version.

  1. You are absolutely right! The boundary conditions we are using here are simplifying the problem. In level 2 of this homework assignment you will learn how to create a boundary condition for a real external flow problem. You can find the related step-by-step tutorial here

  2. MFR is used in a lot of industries to simulate rotating device. For sure an AMI approach will deliver better result. Here aging the question is what accuracy is needed. What would you think about setting up this AMI simulation yourself? Please feel free to open a new topic and I promise to help you with every step

  3. You just have to add all related moments to get the resulting moment on the propellor. Based on this you can calculate the battery life.

Cheers,

Milad
