Abstract

The purpose of this project is to study the applications of open-source Computational-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools in mechanical design. The Computational-Aided Engineering type that has been chosen is Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD); and the model design that fulfill the criteria to be simulated in this project is the part of aerodynamics model. This aerodynamics design is synonym in industrial designing because of the feedback in terms of its accessibility, convenience and safety. In the creation of model aerodynamic concept, there are a lot of things that need to be identified and calculated as it is hazardous and need to supervise from a professional. As this project research is to study on how work the simulation on certain chosen software that has been applicate on the selected model design. There are two type of software has been selected that are open-source software and commercial-package software. The preferred software is intentionally has been elected in order to see the different in the type of used, the meshing and airflow direction. The software that has been picked for open-source software are OpenFOAM and Gmsh, while for commercial-package are ANSYS-Fluent and SolidWorks. This all software is being using to analyze the CFD simulations and understand the procedure in using it.
