So, i wanted to know what affect the mesh has on the simulation, so i just amped the mesh resolution up (5.5 million nodes). we get a much nicer picture of whats going on, problem is, the file size of the output data base is 30Gb, so i wont be doing this often.
Heres a few pics of the simulation results:
We can see the areas that need more material added, and the areas which can have some cut away, but as a whole, i think its approaching its final geometry. so its time to buy some carbon fiber :)
small update, i was wondering through the office and actually found a piece of carbon fiber tubing that was the exact correct diameter for the axle. happy days.
