Solidworks drawings, post here!

rats..that didn't work...it got bounced. Gotta make the zip file smaller... what's the max you can receive?

10mb is as big as I can recieve in an email, If you can't get the assembly small enough,try breaking it into smaller assemblies, I will turn it back into a larger assembly when I upload it.

I will try to figure out how to remotely load to my FTP site if this doesn't work.

[Twin_Turbo]

I'll send smaller files, I wasn't sending an assembly but just single parts

I got them, I will try to rebuild the assembly tonight. I am using Solidworks 2005 so any earlier version parts will be converted to 2005. I am not upgrading to Solidworks 2006 yet because anyone with earlier versions of solidworks would not be able to open the files.

I've got more....coming your way. BTW, I only sent individual parts, do you want the entire assemblies?

Send me the assemblies too, I can save them as step files do other people can download them too.

Edit: I got the second batch of parts and they look nice

I uploaded a bunch of C2/c3 rear suspension parts

http://www.wrenchmonkey.com/Webpages/Solids/Solids.html

EDIT: I incorrectly had this listed as C4 suspension earlier sorry!

[Twin_Turbo]

It's a C2/C3 suspension, used from 63 to 79. This is the one w/ the cast iron differential.

The C4 susp. is completely different w/ trailing rods and a set of toe control rods

I'm currently in a class learning Solid Edge v17. I'm loving it!
We've got a project right now to design a 4" car body and chassis that we are going to print w/ one of those 3D printers (coolest things EVER!!) I'm pretty pumped. I'll post up, after i finish it.

[Twin_Turbo]

I've got a rough model of the 1980-82 Corvette diff (dana44)


I also acquired a C4 Super Dana 44 and will model that one if i have some spare time left.

Not to jump into this thread, but back in school we used an SLA (Stereolithography) to create prototype parts. It was great fun. We made a scale model John Deere skid steer with hydraulic cylinders that could be operated with water and syringes. This work was all done in ProE (back then it was version 2000i^2)

OK, I'll let you guys get back to car stuff. I just thought I'd chime in with an SLA story.

My buddy just got solidworks, so I get to borrow it.... I tried it and have no idea!! LOL I'll look into the book for it. I'm going in to get a rod and plate out of my arm so during recovery when I get tired of Xbox, I'll get tied up in SW. Any one got anypointers??

Did you see the Hot Rod cover shot of the SLA intake on LS7? Pretty neat...and they actually ran the engine with it.

[MoeBawlz]

SLA is real nice for that reason that and so is SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) which creates a metal finished part out of a prototype. I have a little experience with FDM (Fuse Deposition Model) which is ABS resin extruded into the prototype shape but its brittle and mostly used for light mockup or testing how it feels in your hand.

[Twin_Turbo]

anyone still doing SW modeling? I'm still working on my car model:

[wickedmotorhead]

Sweet car modeling.

[MoeBawlz]

When I get more time Ill be cranking out some stuff. Actually does anyone have an ACCURATE model of ANY engine? I am looking for one I can make an animation out of.

[Twin_Turbo]

Not me...I just did a quick crude shape.

over @ lateral-g there's an artwork section where someone has excellent models of a SBC and a TKO. I wish I had an accurate SBC or even better BBC model.

here is a 2006-07 Tahoe that I have been designing Fender Flares for.

[Samckitt]

Robert, that is pretty cool. Do you work for GM, or did you model all of that?
