SUMMARY
The discussion centers on the challenges faced by a user, Matt, who seeks assistance in testing the lift and drag of a dragster using SolidWorks Flow Simulation. Matt's current version of SolidWorks lacks the necessary flow simulation capabilities, prompting him to seek help from the community. Responses indicate that performing such simulations is typically a paid service, suggesting that hiring an engineering firm or collaborating with a university's senior design project may be viable alternatives. Additionally, another user mentions working with FLUENT software for a different simulation, highlighting the need for focused discussions on specific topics.
