I build CAD models for RF signatures, CFD, and other analysis for a living. What software will you be using for modeling and analysis?

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.
