This note explains how to draw an aerofoil in t

hree dimensions in SolidWorks and then how to run a

simple calculation of the flow over the geometry.

SolidWorks is the 3D CAD pa

ckage used by the

School and

this note assumes you

are familiar with basic usage.

For those of you looking at this for

the L4 Fluid Mechanics assignment please note the NACA 5012 is

NOT

the aerofoil used in the

experiment!
