How to calculate aerodynamic coefficients of an air vehicle?

isso11 · July 11, 2017, 19:45

Hello Everyone,

I am a beginner in the filed of aerodynamics. I need to create an aerodynamic model for a glider air vehicle. I used to use DATCOM to calculate the aerodynamic coefficient, but the results are not very accurate. I think I will have to create a 3d model first, then use some software tools to do computations.
Would someone please note down the steps and recommend good software tools to do this job, for a beginner ?

Thank you!
