This mesh was then imported into Geomagic's Design X reverse engineering software, where Design X's exact surfacing capability was used to generate a CAD file that could be used for analysis. The exported 3D model was sent to Advanced Composites, where it was run through an air flow simulation software. This theoretical data was compared to the data previously collected by Advanced Composites during an actual wind tunnel test. Upon observing the resemblance of the outcomes, it was determined the method proposed by NeoMetrix Technologies, Inc. to be an acceptable substitute.
