Abstract

Nowadays, there are many software packages that make it easy for students and engineers to display and describe an imaginary idea in better quality and a better sense. Therefore, in this paper, car is designed using the software package Autodesk 3ds Max 2010. Designed car represent a new conceptual solution design. Initial design freeform sketches of imaginary car are presented too. After the modeling a car in mentioned software, the final digital images generated using the Mental Ray rendering tool are presented too. Attention is given only to the external design of the car, while the interior is not modeled. Furthermore, using the software FLUENT, 2D analysis of the side contour of the vehicle was achieved, and possible correction of car geometry was made in purpose to improve the design in terms of reducing air resistance and improve aerodynamics.

Keywords: car design, CFD simulation, FLUENT, Finite volume method, k - ε turbulent model.
