VW in solidworks

The data base from the laser scan is in the computer. Here is the Solidworks file that it was converted to. Now we need to get hooked up with some CFD software so we can do the design studies of the drag coefficient of the body aerodynamics. Jim has been "crunch'in" some numbers to determine the drag, frontal area, gear ratio, tire diameter HP and RPM required to cut the mustard. Here are some good data sites for your reference Gear Ratio Calculator -Tire Size Calculator - tire & wheel plus sizing-calculation programs-aerodynamic drag
