Simworks update

The aircraft stalls and cuts left immediately after take-off. I can't see the Copilot, despite setting a weight. I don't see passengers in the Summit interior. There are no passengers in the Summit interior, for performance reasons. The aircraft pulls to the left when trying to climb up a steep slope. That is known and we are looking into it. This appeared after version 0. We are looking into it. After an update to the NXi, indications are now off-position.

Which was developed in the early s a commercial CFD software but was made open source and released under a GPL licence in December Since then several forks of the code have been developed by a community of users, students and researcher in universities for many different application. While being open source makes it easy to access the main drawback is the difficulty of use.

The very steep initial learning curve and the difficulty in adapting it to the industrial process since the process of defining a new simulation from scratch can be very time consuming.

This is an optional step which is not required to complete successfully the CFD simulation but can be carried out if the user wishes to do so. SimWorks gives feedback to the user at every step of the CFD simulation definition, preventing avoidable mistakes and speeding up the simulation definition process.

In particular shows graphically to the user all the pre-processing parameters like the mesh size and boundary conditions, shows the solution evolution and features an integrated post-processor to quickly analyse the simulation results once completed. The SimWorks tutorials offer a good view on the possible ways of using SimWorks both for academic and professional work. Those can also be modified to be adapted to the specific application the user needs.

A good practical application is the wind load calculation on buildings with a devoted buildings tutorial :. CFD is a much more reliable tool than manual calculation in evaluating the wind load because it does not require to assume an arbitrary coefficient of drag for a building shape. It is also possible to carry out CFD simulations of internal flows , which is useful for calculating air flows inside buildings and assess the overall building comfort or to simulate flow inside pipes and idraulic connections to correctly dimension such systems:.

SimWorks includes a free 14 days trial licence of SimWorks Manager which does not require any committment or payment details. Y ou can either download it directly or automatically update SimWorks by clicking on the main menu Licence entry and selecting Upgrade… :. You will then be presented with a GUI showing all the required info to activate the licence. The next time SimWorks is started SimWorks Manager will automatically be enabled for the trial period, once that is expired it will automatically revert back to SimWorks.

We offer SimWorks Manager free for academic use provided that the user meets certain criteria, we also can offer extended free trial licences for other purposes, please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any queries.

So let's begin! The Kodiak's release stretched the limits of our web site beyond our expectations by approximately 5x. That means that we cannot release updates to the product, the floatplane or any other high-demand aircraft before migrating to a new server. Now that everyone is back, we are going through specifications and offers to be able to make an educated decision and migrate to a new server that should handle demand better. We want this to be done within January. The flight model is in a very good state.

Sounds are here and at a very good stage, with fine tuning and AI being the last things due for this task. We are working towards a February release, barring any unforeseen problems. The only task left is to code the gear warning lights to function like the real thing and re-work the soundset for hydroplaning sounds. Both planes will be updated in parallel and be on par with regards to fixes and features.
