With Formula 1 aerodynamics being so over-regulated, one must always wonder if a shape is there because it has an actual aerodynamic purpose on its own, or if it is just a consequence / side-effect of engineers trying to achieve something else while reading the rules with a different angle. This would involve this small cavity between the radius and the diffuser, which has no purpose in itself, but if it had any downside, it was probably advantageously balanced by the gain coming with the diffuser starting more forward.
BOOLEAN PLUGIN SKETCHUP FULL
So, instead of just applying a R50 tangentially to the diffuser slope (blue sketch), they would apply a full quarter circle as per red sketch. Indeed, the regulation defined the floor limits, where it had to be entirely flat and horizontal (in car referential), with the possibility to curve the periphery upward with a maximum radius of 50 mm (not fully sure of this dimension, it might have been a bit different). However, purpose was not to create a cavity, but to move the diffuser starting point as much forward as possible.
I think F1 teams actually used similar shapes but with the radius on the other edge, the one at the end of the flat horizontal portion. I had the Jordan diffuser step on a car last season. SketchUp doesn't have built in tools that direct. Third, choose the extension file with the ‘rbz’ extension from.
BOOLEAN PLUGIN SKETCHUP INSTALL
Second, click on Install Extensions at the bottom left of the Extension Manager Window. Or, you can open Extension Manager from the Window drop menu. (there shouldn't be any issue running both tests at the same time on the same PC?) You may be familiar with boolean or pathfinder tools in different modeling and graphic design applications. SketchUp Plugins: First, click on Extension Manager the red gem icon on the far right of the toolbar. Having trouble running the tests of the 2 cars with and without the vortex cell in the diffuser one is running now but the other is running into divergence issues and don't know why.
BOOLEAN PLUGIN SKETCHUP PRO
At this point it would appear that my only choice is to restrict this added level of functionality within the wainscoting module to the PRO version of SketchUp and then use. If i have done everything correct then the results are saying that i have taken off around 8 seconds a lap round Nurburgring =D> which sounds like a lot but it only brings me up one place but if i can sort the cooling issues out it brings me to the back of the pack of those with 100% power. The complexity of the exterior wainscoting of my Wall Plugin has now exceeded the capabilities of my own home brewed trim function/method. Thanks for showing this and the spreadsheet. I copied and pasted the cells so I could compare data side by side. If you havent got it, it was shared a few pages ago IIRC or there is this link from my Google Drive. Then you go to the CoP Spreadsheet Julien did before OCCFD, when we were using the Khamsin plugin, and compy and paste the data into it.
