But they did make a really nice spot to put the company logo.

I also did a series of Flow Illustrator runs for a combo-shaped trailer with a 'rectangular' front and a R-Pod rear end using both my Jeep Liberty silhouette and the Ford Pickup...the weird shape didn't really change anything. I am a hydrodynamist by profession and Flow Illustrator doesn't do very
badly compared with some of my very expensive software. I am always amazed with some of the 'free' software that is available on the Internet versus some of the 'professional' software that costs
me up into five figures!

As you stated...the real world is the final word. I also use ScanGauge II and wouldn't travel without it. It uses the electronic sensors all new vehicles have. It has more than paid for itself by giving me the fault codes so I know what is wrong with my vehicle before I bring it in to a mechanic. I watch my miles per gallon, and adjust my speed accordingly. The SGII can also be moved from one vehicle to another by simply plugging it into a under dash socket.

Well, in my past life (work) I used a lot of computer programs in various disciplines and the old saying of garbage in garbage out is very true. I'm definitely not saying the Flow Illustrator program is garbage because it is not. I was quite impressed with the out put from it. I'm only saying it would be difficult to obtain any quantitative information not knowing the total input information and the conditions under which the model is subjected. i too am impressed with the improvement in data processing that has occurred since I first processed "data" by hand and with a hand held calculator which believe it or not was not allowed in any of my college classrooms. Ah, the "good ol' days". Yeah right Censored
