Hello to the forum,

I am currently an undergraduate mechanical engineering student trying to complete my integrated master's thesis "Dynamic and Aerodynamic Analysis of an Aircraft in the Transonic Region" and I have huge problems with finding and cleaning a geometry. I designed a geometry from the beginning, based on a Gulfstream 3 wing (NACA 0012 - 64008A0.5 - Wingspan 11.5 - Twist 3 - Dihedral 2) and I also created the internal structure (based on photos and personal knowledge) with extuded parts in each plane and then with surface cut. I saw a video on Altair's site called: "Altair Aerospace: FE Model Setup and Validation" with a beautiful model. Can anyone help me with either changing/cleaning my geometry or with getting my hands in the particular geometry of the video?

    The mildly-incompressible solver in AcuSolve (Altair general purpose CFD), while able to handle transonic internal flows, is not designed or targeted for transonic external flows such as flow over an aircraft.
