Overview

Project Falcon for Autodesk® Alias software is a wind tunnel simulator that seamlessly integrates with Alias allowing designers to interactively investigate the aerodynamic performance of their designs at any stage. Industrial designers can get intuitive simulation results for their designs in seconds with no specialist knowledge required. Simply launch Project Falcon and results appear immediately. Project Falcon makes use of a revolutionary new automatic meshing technology that can handle any geometry at any stage of design. Flow and wind pressure results update almost in real-time in response to changes in wind-direction and speed. These results can be used to improve design decision making much earlier in the process.

Understanding the aerodynamic behavior of your design is critical whenever air flows over, around, or through a design. As "organic" surfacing becomes more prevalent in industrial design, so too does the opportunity to create designs that work in harmony with the wind to reduce costly aerodynamic drag.

Project Falcon Validation

To highlight the accuracy of Project Falcon, a full 3D analysis was applied to a number of aerodynamic cases. As shown by the coefficient of drag documented in the Project Falcon Validation PDF file, in each of the cases, Project Falcon was able to settle on a value that closely matches the published values.
