Hello everyone,

The existing simulation example, “Aerodynamics of a Drone,” was updated for the R2021x FD07 release of the user assistance. This example teaches you how to perform an external flow simulation using a symmetrical half of a drone aircraft model.

For R2021x FD07, additional boundary conditions were added to the scenario to account for the symmetrical modeling conditions. These boundary conditions improve the accuracy of the results. In addition, the results analysis now includes steps to visualize the entire drone, not just the symmetric half that you simulated. Visualizing the entire drone improves your ability to analyze the streamline contours.

This example requires the following apps:

• Fluid Model Creation
• Fluid Scenario Creation
• Mesh Creation
• Physics Results Explorer

To try this example, see Aerodynamics of a Drone (3ds.com).
