In this video, we apply aerodynamic shape optimization using the adjoint technique to the Ahmed Body. This famous geometry was used to benchmark CFD codes, correlate to wind tunnel test data and so on for automotive related aerodynamics projects.

The method runs through a number of cycles, each containing:
- a primal run (normal CFD simulation of the aerodynamics)
- a dual run (adjoint simulation to link the drag reduction goal to the flow field)
- a sensitivity map calculation (to calculate how the surface should be morphed to reduce drag)
- a morphing step to implement these suggestions. The morphing is applied to the volume & surface mesh directly

In this video, we use AirShaper's Design Advice to learn how we can cut drag on the VECTO reference truck. This technique uses "adjoint shape optimization" and allows users without simulation expertise to improve the aerodynamics of their design.

The Design Advice tells users where to push a surface outward (red) or inward (blue) along the local normal.
