Does anyone know of any finite element analysis software that shows, graphically, airflow over a surface. Of course, the next question is "can I get the source - cheap?" I fly model airplanes and I think it would be fun to study and show the aerodynamics of same to the rest of the model club member. Gene Burmeister phone (303) 229-3529 unix {hplabs}!hpfcla!gene

The only software that does this and that I used personally is for the amiga's colordisplay and was on one of the Fishdisks (PD). I'm not sure about the source. I know there is a package sold cheaply (~50-100$) by a German company that does finite analysis on PC/AT's with all kinds of display, complete with thousands of lines of source code (could be more than you asked for).I think its in Fortran and there are 2 versions (like 2D and 3D displayformat) Quite some time ago that I read about it, but can search for the info if you really want it. fmr@cwi.nl -- It is better never to have been born.
