It was just an example, relax.

-You are using one of the least accurate software packages to solve one of the most complicated problems. I have used this software before and while it has its advantages in terms of useability, it is far from roubust. To get a good solution to an airfoil problem typically requires more control that Solidworks can provide. Not to say you can't get lucky, but k-e is the only turbulence model and it is far from the best choice. Not to mention the issues with controling mesh resolution. Can you even plot your y+ value in that program? (I don't recall) If not it seems like a pointless excersice to run an analysis that is heavily dependent upon boundary layer behavior.
could you suggest other software for this problem..i'll propose to my sv to use other software..i've access to ansys15 and star ccm+ but these 2 softwares (in my view) are very complicated in every way. thats why i prefer solidworks in the first place. but since this software cant give me accurate results, i really need to change it.

star-ccm+ is what I use (I also have solidworks). Star has more of a learning curve but for a simple problem like this it shouldn't be too bad. I think there are airfoil examples you can work that should get you moving.
