​
Summary

Parametric Formula SAE aero package: front wing and endplates, rear wing and endplates, body and mounts, and wheels, with NACA airfoil sections and a downforce/drag/L-D results table.

​
Package Details

A parametric aerodynamic package for a Formula SAE car, built in nTop. The notebook models the front wing and endplates, the rear wing and endplates, the body and mounts, and the wheels as separate sections, and assembles them into a whole-car body for flow analysis. FSAE aero package with external-flow streamlines

​
Installation

Download fsae-aero-package.ntop from the community site, or clone this repo:
The package lives at packages/matthewmuellernTop/fsae-aero-package/. The notebook is self-contained: it has no external file dependencies, such as CAD, CSV airfoils or meshes.

​
Usage

  1. Open fsae-aero-package.ntop in nTop 6.1 or later. It was prepared with nTop 6.1.2.
  2. Save a working copy.
  3. Edit the wing sections. The airfoils are NACA 4-digit sections (2412, 4412 and 6412 are used in the notebook).
  4. Edit the body using the fuselage-from-rails controls: Top, Side and Bottom rails, Top/Bottom Rho, and Tip/Rear Close Blend Radius.
  5. Use the Wings only or Whole car body for flow analysis. The notebook’s results table lists downforce, drag and L/D by part.

Notes

This publication copy is byte-identical to the shared source notebook. It was not reopened or re-evaluated in nTop for this submission. Flow results depend on your own analysis settings and are not a validated design claim.
