Freeware simulation software for automotive engineering

AI Thread Summary
Freeware simulation software for automotive engineering is available, but it's essential to specify the type of simulation needed, such as aerodynamic flow, combustion processes, or structural stresses. The field of automotive engineering is broad, and different software packages cater to different simulation needs. Users are encouraged to clarify their specific interests to find the most suitable tools. Resources like hpwizard.com can assist in locating appropriate software. Defining the simulation focus will streamline the search for effective freeware options.

hello!

is there any freeware simulation software for automotive engineering?

thanks!
 
Engineering news on Phys.org
...to simulate what? flow around the car? combustion inside the engine? stresses in the structure?
 
Anything really but engine would be more interesting
 
Automotive engineering is a broad field. In my opinion you're better off specifying the exact kind of simulation you're interested in first, and then searching for a software package in that particular topic.
 

Thread 'Race car suspension Class'

Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...

Thread 'Carburetor cfm rating -- adding more air to intake manifold'

Carburetor CFM A Holley Carb rated at 500 cfm 2 barrel carb has venturi diameter of 1.3/8". There are 2 barrel carbs with 600 cfm and have 1.45 diameter venturi. Looking at the area the 1.378 bore has 5.9 sq. Inch area. The 1.45 dia. has 6.6 sq. inch. 5.9 - 6.6 = 0.70 sq. inch difference. Keeping the 500 cfm carb in place, if I can introduce 0.7 sq inch more area in the intake manifold, will I have the same potential horsepower as a 600 cfm carb provide? Assume I can change jetting to...

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
