Aero Coefficient Outputs

Dear modelors I was checking out your software and it looks pretty interesting. I was wondering does such output aero coefficients like drag lift pitching moment yawing moment rolling moment the whole 6 degrees of freedom aero.  I could not find such output in the user guide... thank you very much.

I would like to model a simple non symmetric rocket with the 3-D flow option.... With and without plumes but I could use a solid model for the plumes.

 It looks like your model is much easier to use than the NASA 3-D FUN software but who knows how good it is.?

thanks

Hi Steve,

Thank you for the interest. Drag and lift coefficeints can be computed manually by entering and integrating the corresponding expressions as described in this tutorial

FEATool and CFDTool uses the open source CFD and FEA solvers like OpenFOAM, SU2, and FEniCS. I'm not quite sure how they compared to NASA's 3-D FUN, but closest would probably be SU2 which has its origin in solving compressible flow for external aerodynamics.
