@coquicr Hi, if you have access to both, I would say try Solidworks, in my
personal opinion Inventor is better for designs like gearboxes, but for
cars, planes, bikes, etc I would choose Solidworks exclusively, frame
generator in Solidworks suit me better than in Inventor, there is one thing
which I don't like in Solidorks, it's small parts library, I had to create
my own steel profiles. In Solidworks you won't create a frame member over a
spline, it's not a big deal.
@olliewest I use a "conventional" approach, weldments> structural member,
etc, (of course it's necessary to create own library), because you can't
create a curved member over a spline, I use arcs usually. For more
"complicated" shapes a couple of them, of course you have to add tangent
relation between them, hope it helps.
Hi I have an engineering background and I am planning on building a bike on
my free time much like you did with the Lotus 7. I see from your videos you
have experience on Solidworks and Inventor. Which one would you recommend
for chassis frame design and simulation: Inventor, Solidworks, any other?
Thank you a lot!
Hello, I'm thinking about making a DIY project out of the Atom and have
been trying to do all the research that comes before doing any major
project. I was wondering if you would be willing to share the SolidWorks
model of the car or if it is already online, where it would be.
My name is Brian Williams and I am with the Formula SAE program at Bradley
University. We would like to discuss some frame designs with you. I sent
you a friend request because we need to be friends before I can send an
actual message. We would like to contact you. thanks!
I have made a rear suspension setup similar to yours, but I cannot get the
mates right at the hinge or things to connect and move properly. Do you
have your solidworks files/ assemblies uploaded anywhere so I can see the
process you used to put everything together?
I’ve been trying to design stuff in solid works but I find it very
difficult. I guess you have to have an artistic mind. Any chance you could
change that to a pull-rod and mount the shocks closer to the ground plain?
That would lower the center of gravity
I have Dell 9400 (I'm going to upgrade it to M90 or M6300) 2GB ram (667MHZ)
Radeon X1400 (256MB). It took about 8h to render it in resolution 1100x750,
18 frames per second,
"oh, and your wheel's centerpoint seems to be not in the real centerpoint,
if you know what I mean." Wow congratulations finally after 16574 viewers
someone noticed that I'm impressed. But let me explain myself that was my
first project in Invntor ever I noticed that when i finished animation but
was to late for changes so I left it. I was drawing that wheel in isometric
view so that's why I chossed wrong centerpoint. "how did you do this in
Inventor though?" I used Inventor studio great tool.
Great job, I uhhh, currently have Autodesk Inventor Professional 2009, and
its great. I thought it was so much much better than the 2006 version,
which is what my school has, so yea. Its difficult to learn at first, but
once you do, its a great program!
hmm.. i am familiar with inventor. i have made excavators with it and
such... but idk how to make car bodies with it. and absolutly no clue as to
how u made the tread on the tire.. so if anyone konws fill me in. :]
That is awesome! how did you do this in Inventor though? oh, and your
wheel's centerpoint seems to be not in the real centerpoint, if you know
what I mean. other than that, great model, and 'animation'!
This video guides you step by step through the multibody modeling of a double wishbone suspension in Adams/Car. What you will create is the front suspension ...
Hi AR Sarjun :) We used Adams Car 2013.2. Before you start ADAMS/Car
Template Builder, make sure that your private configuration file,
.acar.cfg, shows that you can work in expert-user mode. Your private
configuration file is located in your home directory.
To check the user mode:
1) In a text editor, such as jot or notepad, open .acar.cfg.
2) Verify that the following line appears as shown:
ENVIRONMENT MDI_ACAR_USERMODE expert
(you just have to replace default standard with expert and save!)
This line sets the user mode for the ADAMS/Car session.
To start ADAMS/Car Template Builder:
1) Start ADAMS/Car Standard Interface.
2) From the Tools menu, select ADAMS/Car Template Builder.

Car suspension simulation, Part 1
Simulation of a somewhat more complex system with real time graphic display on a Telefunken RA 770 analog computer. Simulation eines etwas komplexeren ...
Hi Idmond - thank you very much for your message! This is indeed a good
idea and, in fact, you are second one to ask specifically for examples from
this problem domain. Currently, I am quite busy but I will keep in my mind
and do my best to make a short video about application areas requiring fast
and ultra-fast response times. (You might want to google for "black magic
and gremlins", by the way. :-) ) All the best - Bernd. :-)
Bernd, could you post a video about the application of analog computation
techniques to the implementation/simulation of analog controllers? that
would be really fun! I just want to know the implementation issues and
limitations of analog controllers in applications where the plant has very
fast response such as UAVs, Aircrafts, Rockets, etc.. Thanks!
Wow, absolutely perfect !!! Thank you very much !!!
