Note: If you've chosen this project from the New Project window in the app, it's pre-configured with CAD or mesh files, settings, pre-run simulations, visualization filters, and more.
Use this guide to create this case from scratch with a blank project.
The Piper PA-28 Cherokee is a small single propeller aircraft often used for flight training and personal use. In this sample project you'll use the Piper Cherokee to demonstrate and teach many of the features and tools of Luminary Cloud's external aerodynamics solution.
At the bottom of this lesson are buttons that work as paths forwards through this project. These projects will also evolve and grow over time, demonstrating new capabilities of Luminary as we release them.
To get started:
Log into Luminary.
On the Projects Summary Page, click New Project.
Select a Blank Project.
Enter "Piper Cherokee" for the Project Name and "Sample Project" for the Description. You can also select a preconfigured version of this project by selecting Piper Cherokee from the window.
Click the Create button to create and open your new project.
Next Steps
Choose one of the following:
Upload a CAD geometry file and create a computational mesh from it
Upload a mesh that has been created elsewhere
When uploading geometries to use for external aerodynamics flow simulations, you can upload just the model (i.e., aircraft) itself or a full geometry that includes the far-field surface of the entire flow domain.
Use the buttons below to choose a path.
