Getting Started
Project Falcon is a new way to investigate aerodynamic performance. Its speed and accuracy work in concert with physically intuitive controls for defining wind direction and speed. At the heart of Falcon is a cutting-edge approach to CFD simulation that removes barriers to meshing coupled with a unique numerical method that allows a broader design audience to benefit from simulation early in the design process.
The technology preview can only be used standalone or with an existing Autodesk Alias 2012 license.
