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.
