Note in this tutorial when drawing the rear wing you need to click the trackpad button- NOT THE ENTER BUTTON - after drawing the rear wing box. Otherwise the menu won't show up.

Make a mounting "cap" that allows your rear wing to be solidly connected to the body of your car.
This connection method can be used for the front wing as well.
Note you may need to hide previous sketches and bodies in the command menu to allow the sketch line to be drawn.
Or if your car body is rounded, you may need to use Cutting Planes to create the "cap".

SimScale is an online cloud-based CFD program. You will need to create an educational/public account to use it.
It is suggested to make your mesh as simple as possible, and export/upload .STEP files or .IPT from Fusion 360 rather than .STL
Cover all holes, join bodies together. Make it a simple body.

Fluent is the advanced ANSYS software.
The geometry should be simplified (export as a .STEP file), and the holes must be covered. You can start with the main body geometry and see if the "Boolean subtraction" step works. If not, you will have to go back to the geometry.

Name all faces: Inflow, outflow, walls, symmetry, body
Mesh => update => Mesh
1. Generate basic mesh
2. Do refinement
3. Do inflation
Set Up
1. Boundary conditions
a. Inflow (set velocity inlet): 25 m/s
b. Outflow
c. Outer walls
d. Body (wall)
2. Initialize (hybrid)
3. Run simulation
a. Set 1000 iterations
b. See when the residuals stop decreasing, stop the execution
Results
1. Contours => select the field (pressure or velocity; select face
2. Change views and get some pictures
3. Calculator, force, x direction – this is the frag force in Newtons
