How can be used Acusolve for a good wind tunnel analysis, without using VWT software ?

    If not VWT, then HypeWorks CFD X 2019.1 is probably the next 'easiest' option. The only thing is you will have to do repairs mostly on the geometry (CAD), Detailed Mesh editing operations like in HyperMesh are not there. 

     

    If not that, you can also setup the complete wind tunnel analysis in HyperMesh or SimLab or AcuConsole. In the end all will write out input for AcuSolve. 

     

    Any reasons you want to avoid VWT workflow?

    Thanks for your comment. The thing is that I am running the Student edition software, and I only have Acusolve. I downloaded VWT from Altair connect but a new licence is required. Do you know if Student edition licence is supported for VWT ?

    We have in our University computers the VWT running, because we bought (The institution) the HyperWorks licence, but now in times of C19, we dont have access to these computers.

    Any comment I would appreciate.

    @Rahul Ponginan Might be in a better position to answer about licensing and VWT availability in Student Edition.

    It appears that VWT for AcuSolve was included in the 2017.2 version of Student Edition - but not in the 2019 (or later) version.

    Maybe make another request for the Student Edition - and specifically ask for the 2017.2 version so you can run VWT-AcuSolve.
