Design Sketches
Before creating the 3D CAD models of the two vehicles intended for simulation, sketches were produced to inspire the designs. A variety of form factors, ranging from completely rounded panels to bodies with sharp edges, were drawn. Since the analysis aimed to compare the two extremes of body forms, the two most contrasting sketches were selected to proceed to the CAD stage.
Renders
Both extremes of the sports car forms were rendered in Fusion360, with additional features such as the rear wing of the rounded vehicle design incorporated to facilitate comprehensive discussion points during the aerodynamic analysis stage. Renders depicting both vehicles were generated to vividly showcase their respective designs. While further enhancements, such as detailing the headlights, were conceivable, their incorporation would yield negligible impact on the analysis and thus were not integrated into the models.
