In this tutorial, a aerodynamic analysis of a F1 frontwing is presented. The flow around the wing is modeled as an incompressible, turbulent flow using a k-epsilon turbulence model. This tutorial is based on the first part of the SimScale F1 Simulation workshop series about aerodynamics.

Half car model, flat tyres, no diffuser to see difference in drag/downforce.
Model put together with stl file code

Previous mesh element count was too large for Paraview to process. 
Simplifications: 
- max elements in x reduced to 40, to 10 in y and z
- diffuser refinement: min level reduced to 5 rather than 6
- feature refinement: still level 7 for 0.001m, now level 5 for 0.005m

Half car model, with flat tyres and final front and rear wing, plus diffuser.
Model put together with stl file code
