Airflow Simulation

Does Makerspace have access to decent airflow simulation software that could be used to explore my airfoil ideas? Or does anyone have recommendations for software I could get. If it’s for a PC I’d have to use a Makerspace computer. Thanks!

I know Autodesk recently replaced their old CFD suite with a new CFD suite, maybe DMS can get its hands on an educational license for that as well as the currently licensed Autodesk products?

Thanks. I’ll take a look. Too bad I invested in a mini Mac instead if a PC! I’m done with Apple computers and not being able to download free software.

Thanks again. I tried to download it at Makerspace but that didn’t work. I’ll ask around.

I need help getting the NASA FoilSim code downloaded if someone has a few moments later today. I’ll be at the Space probably around 4PM if anyone can help then. Hopefully, it shouldn’t take long. Thanks!
