Using values to derive the general shape of a rotor

[Rx7Evan]

Vex,

I wanted to do the same thing a while back. I have never been able to find proper equations or numbers to build a good model. I do however have a ROMER CMM with a perceptron laser scanner at my disposal, so i was hoping one day i could get some scans of a housing and some rotors. I build CAD models for RF signatures, CFD, and other analysis for a living. What software will you be using for modeling and analysis?

Modeling and FEA will be done using Autodesk Inventor, CFD will be done using Autodesk Algor simulation software.

I'm a little busy with school work at the moment so I may have to hold off on this for a little bit, but I'm still planning on doing it.

Wow! Those could be some very useful skills! I would love to see some simulation guys working on this and some validators building and testing the designs. I have argued for years that if performance parts for rotaries were as readily available as they are for the small-block Chevy and small-block Ford, people would realize how much potential the rotary engine really has.
