Study of the advantages and disadvantages of fluid behavior modeling in the 3D MAX software package

Nowadays, when computer technologies are used in all fields of science and technology, it is almost impossible to imagine the activi-ties of various institutions, including scientific and educational ones, without modeling various objects and processes. The peculiarity of the design and construction of flying apparatus requires the use of modern methods of information processing, creation of drawings and modeling of individual processes.  Given the diversity of computer software, it is important to identify at which stages which software packages can be effectively ex-ploited. The purpose of writing this article was to focus on the 3D Max software package, its various advantages and shortcomings in the processes of modeling the behavior of combustion components in the tanks of flying apparatus. For this, the survey research method was used. The results of which were presented in this article. According to the results of the study, it can be noted that the use of the 3D Max software package, for the purpose of modeling the behavior of the fuel component in the tanks, has theoretical and practical value. The study of certain advantages and disadvantages of such mod-eling specified the problem and its relevance. The modeling process using the 3D Max software package was subject to a number of fairly strict and specific requirements. One of the main requirements was the possibility of creating research objects in strict compliance with the parameters necessary for the reproduction of the most reliable model with the maximum pos-sible consideration of the operating factors in the conditions of the software package in order to achieve the realism of the process. The article highlights the most striking advantages of modeling using the 3D Max software package. As for the shortcomings, the author hopes that later, with the ad-vent of more powerful computer systems, they will be almost insignificant. The use of modeling the behavior of fuel components in aircraft tanks using the 3D Max software package has signs of originality. At the same time, the article points out the specific limitations of the advantages and disadvantages of the simulation process using this so.
