Autodesk Labs: Project Falcon Standalone Air Flow CFD Overview

Project Falcon is a free technology preview that simulates air flow around vehicles, buildings, outdoor equipment, consumer products, or other objects of your choosing in a virtual wind tunnel. Falcon technology is extremely geometry tolerant and easy to use, enabling you to begin seeing and understanding air flow behavior within seconds of starting the application. Results update almost in real-time in response to changes in wind-direction and speed that you specify. Visualization tools available within the Falcon family of applications include 2D and 3D flow lines, shaded result planes, vector plots, and surface pressure shading. Quantified outputs include velocity, pressure, drag force, and drag coefficient.

Well im impresed it looks simply and i think it's great idea(I like products like this free for uncomercial use), but still i can't say too much becouse im using X6 1090t which limits me a bit in high car calculation, when i will move to LGA2011 im sure i will test it!

PS: Does it have function of showing downforces?

How is it going - I have a problem with the program - I owned a Windows 7 .32 bit but the program does not function I Is it possible that one help me - please communicate with me del.icio.us haythamfathi333@yahoo.com in

I don't need changing horizon's angle at all. But now it's unreal to move camera without changing horizon. I see 2 circles on screen, when I move camera, but it obscure how it work. Result is always strange. Actually I expected something like 3d max. Moreover viewcube must be there, because usually I need look at from 3 sides and isometry.

Often cursor takes points of work area or compass without my will when i moving camera. In moments like that, you press ctrl+z, but nothing happen...

What type of navigation would you like to see in its place? We make technology previews to find out these things.

very very VERY stupid navigation
