The Aerodynamic Wrench Project - Part 1

"But... why do we need a CFD analysis of a wrench?" Because we can. And because it is the perfect sandbox to master an automated design optimization pipeline. Over the next 15 days, I am building a full CAD-to-CFD-to-Optimization workflow from scratch. The goal isn't just a faster wrench it's about automating the search for the ultimate design using FreeCAD, OpenFOAM, and Dakota. THE DESIGN SPACE: To make this work, we first had to parameterize the geometry. The animation above visualizes the variables we will be optimizing: • Primary Geometry: Handle Length & Head Size. • Functional Constraints: Opening Width (Must fit the bolt!). • Optimization Variables: Neck Radius and Handle Fillet. These are the "knobs" we will turn to reduce drag and control flow separation. THE ROADMAP: 1. Parametric CAD generation (FreeCAD + Python) 2. Automated meshing & 2D-CFD setup (OpenFOAM) 3. Closing the loop: CAD-CFD Integration 4. Design Space Exploration with Dakota 5. Finding the "Ultimate" Aerodynamic Wrench Check out the visualization of the design parameters. Am I missing any critical geometric variables? Which optimizer would you choose for a product design setup with CFD? #CFD #OpenFOAM #FreeCAD #DesignOptimization #Engineering #Python #FluidDynamics
