It would be a helpful addition if we could get lift values and lift graphs along with drag. I was surprised not to see such a utility in a software developed for wind tunnel testing of models. It would be of immense use especially when it comes to automobile and aircraft based models.. Show More

Please make Flow Design scriptable. In particular, make it available through Autodesk Dynamo so we can do cool parametric runs with it and change the shape of the tested building/object parametrically to achieve certain targets. This could be a killer app for the performance-based parametric design community. Show More

So far only drag plot is included, that is helpful in perhaps the car and plane simulations. Kindly include lift and moment graphs with varying angle of attack option.  Show More

There's variations on this idea/request/feature floating around, but I havent's seen many explicit ones.    It would be great/ depending on a project indespensable, to support internal flow. Pipes, ducts, shrouds...    Thanks! Show More

Hi there,   Student using this software here. It's very nice and easy on the computation, and makes some nice looking figures/ videos. However, I would really like to see:   -Lift coefficient plot -Moment coefficient (which we could specify the axis about ourselves) -Reynolds number reporting -Temperature and fluid density user variability -Pressure distribution plot -Inclusion of GPU Compute (OpenGL and CUDA) to ease the CPU load and take advantage of GPU power for streamline and mesh calculations (if it isn't already)    Sorry if some of these things can be done, I'm a student! Also, not sure if this is my fault, but the models are always floating above the ground a bit. It would be nice if they came coincident with the floor on import, and then we could move them around ourselves if need be.    I guess a lot of this can be done on Simulation CFD, which I will try to start using soon :p.    Thanks! It's still nifty software anyways, great way to show off a design.  Show More

I was suggested to re-post this in this board:  It would be absolutely great if we could set 1. the tunnel size, 2. even better if we could set the voxel size as well so we can make comparisons between simulations, otherwise the work is only very qualitative and no quantitative conclusions can be made. 3. Add to this that if the pressure map colors represented the same pressure (or velocity) between simulations it would be absolutely awesome. The three ideas before might look like separate actions,  but they all have one goal: opening the possibility of doing comparable simulations. I know all these features could add to the cost of the program but it could be worth. Cost wise, there is nothing in between Flow Design and Simulation, so most amateurs or self entreprenours cannot afford Simulation but maybe they could afford software with few more features than Flow Design even if it is a little more expensive. But anyways thank you very much for this product (Flow Design) as it still works for an initial qualitative assessment. Show More

IT WOULD BE GREATELY HELPFUL IF WE COULD TURN OFF ALL SPEED COLOR RANGE AND KEEP ONLY A DESIRABLE RANGE ON. ESPECIALLY FOR BUILDING ANALYSIS, THIS COULD HELP US REALLY UNDERSTAND WHICH AREAS HAS DESIRABLE WIND SPEED, SO WE COULD DESIGN PER INFO. Show More

Flow Design allows for an intuitive airflow simulation. It would be great if it could also simulate surface water flow in and around objects. I can definitely see this being applied to river analysis. Show More

I wish this software be more advance with following factors: (& am confident that this will be in coming Future) It should address prediction of processes involving Fluid flow, Heat & Mass Transfer, Chemical Reaction & Combustion. This will use laws of physics i.e. Conservation of mass, momentum, energy. Post processing should include Velocity, Pressure, areas of Turbulence (Reynolds Number), Lift & Drag, Vector Plot, Contour Plot, Streamlines & iso-surfaces. 3D Vector results should be available. Not only Aerodynamic but also Hydrodynamics should be available. It will work not only on stationary objects but also on moving objects (So that real life scenarios can be analyzed).    Please hit Kudos if you also agree with this. Show More

Max inlet speed is 150 m/s. Its aceptable for architectural simulations but not for high speed cars. Kindly upgrade the virtual wind tunnel to supersonic speeds for high speed airplanes.   Thank You. Show More

It would be very helpful if we could calculate the mean wind speed/pressure on a surface exposed to the wind,as well as the min. and max.   Thanks,  Eleni Show More

Dear Madam/Sir, I'm trying to write an article to assess the validity of Autodesk Flow Design software. can I receive any support from Autodesk company or do you suggest any journal which I can publish my data?   Many Thanks in advance.   Hamideh   Show More
