Gio1392 New Member Giovanni Join Date: Nov 2017 Posts: 3 Rep Power: 9	Hi, I would like to create a CFD simulation of an underwater robot that has two lateral fins moving in a sinusoidal manner as shown in the picture below: https://ibb.co/hSB8Lw The purpose is to find the propulsive forces it generates using such a swimming mechanism. What software offers this kind of capabilities? Also, can you think of a simplified way to model this? Best regards
