You can change the unit system using the Unit System Selector or the Preferences. When importing "discrete mesh" files (.stl, .nas, .fem) with unspecified units, select the model unit in the Import Options dialog.
Use the Identify Parts tool to define types of parts like wheels, heat exchangers or body panels, which require specific modeling techniques
for the CFD run.
Baffles are used to model very thin walls, for example sheet metal parts. In the numerical surface mesh model, baffles are
represented by shell elements, which have fluid volume on both sides.
Once the baseline model is prepared, you can define morph volumes, morph geometry, create design shapes and run DOE
studies. These tool work for both AcuSolve and ultraFluidX-based workflows.
Set up the wind tunnel and prepare the aerodynamics and parameters of your
model.

Position the Car
Use the Move tool to position the car inside of the wind tunnel.
Identify Parts
Use the Identify Parts tool to define types of parts like wheels, heat exchangers or body panels, which require specific modeling techniques for the CFD run.
Baffle Element Recognition
Baffles are used to model very thin walls, for example sheet metal parts. In the numerical surface mesh model, baffles are represented by shell elements, which have fluid volume on both sides.
Define Wall Model
By default, parts have Wall Model properties associated with it.
Adjust Ride Height
Use the Ride Height tool to adjust the heave, pitch, and roll of the model.
Adjust Part Normals
Use the Normals tool to identify and correct the surface normal directions on parts.
Define the Mesh Controls
Use the Mesh Controls tool to define regions with a user-defined volume element size.
Define Fluid Materials
Use the Material tool to define a fluid material for the wind tunnel.
