CFD (computational fluid dynamics) model and the results of the first simulation of the kayak moving at a constant speed. ANSYS Classic Structural and ANSYS CFX were used in the modeling.
@felipeleft Use the Shell 99 element (8 node, linear structural shell). You need to dfine the layered carbon fiber section, with orthotropic material properties (e.g. EX, EY. EZ, NUXY, NUYZ, NUXZ, GXY, GYZ, GXZ). Then create the shell section,where you define the carbon fiber layers (thickness, material ID, orientation (i.e. 45, 90, 0 degrees). Good luck!
Hey Sanjuanx, nice simulation! Very clean and useful. May I ask you something, do you know how can I set up and simulate Carbon Fiber on Ansys? I'm participating on the Aerodesign competition from SAE and our plane's structure is made of Carbon Fiber and we actually don't know how to set it up on material tab and simulate it.

Thanks, and congrats!

@sanjuanx Part 3 is done and max simulated speed is 6 m/s

@arboledax Perhaps I may achieve 6 m/s

What's the target speed you are looking with this K1?
