Solidworks Sport car rear suspension simulation

[topameen]

Cool man!

[matheusrinaldi2]

HI! great video man, astonishing quality, but can you please tell me if these 3d models can later be imported into another programs that support game design? like blender for example? thanks in advance!

Areil atom?

[NegativeNumbers427]

I'd love to see something like this on the back of a van and/or truck

[anwar2545]

greate



[earthstick]

Are the suspension coils and dampers part of the sprung or unsprung weight of the car?

[earthstick]

@earthstick Can anyone answer this? I'd really like to know if the suspension parts are part of the sprung mass.

[rustlerboi1052]

Your suspension mounting points aren't following load paths towards nodes. Were you/are you a Formula SAE student?

[olliewest]

Quick question, how do you create curved structural members in solidworks?

[kostucha22]

@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.

[olliewest]

@kostucha22 Thanks, yep got it sorted now. Strange how it only works with arc's but there you go.

[LTF85199]

look like "that" moment arm is a bit too short,,

[tommyboomboom]

is that the actual suspension linkage setup in an Atom? or have you designed your own?

[davegt27]

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

[coquicr]

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!

[kostucha22]

@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.

[tavcarovski]

Thank you... thank you very much.

I was searching all morning, for atom suspension explanation :)

You have "like" from me.

[tavcarovski]

@tavcarovski too bad that rating is disabled :-\

[mechfeeney]

It doesn't look like the assembly is fully constrained. Look at the nut/bolt that connects the damper to the car frame.

[RoboTekno]

Someone didn't constrain their shocks properly :P

[vigisbigtm]

@RoboTekno u r rite..

[RoboTekno]

@vigisbigtm :P Teehee

[GESNERful]

very nice!!!

[lpcakatas]

ROD ENDS IN BENDING!!! ;)

[viper2788]

im actually building an ariel atom out of knex, and i would have NEVER gotten the rear suspension right without this video. thanks for the upload!

[seba2137]

This is a wrightspeed X1

[lORDELO2]

@seba2137 same as the ariel atom only electric right?

[seba2137]

@lORDELO2

Yes, the X1 is an Ariel Atom with electric engine

[MrMustangMan357]

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!

[kostucha22]

Sorry for that but I have very limited time, to many people were asking me about differnt things, I had no time for all replies so I have to block it.

[krzynio20052]

@kostucha22 Witaj. Czy posiadasz projekt CAD do przedstawianego tu Ariela ??. Będę wdzięczny za odpowiedz. Pozdrawiam Serdecznie

[MMApolish]

zajebiaszcze. a te felgi to normalizowane? tj. zgodnie z wymiarami wlasciwej?

[SwellerGibbon3]

what type of graphics card do you have?

[kostucha22]

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,

[SwellerGibbon3]

wow, that explains awesome graphics :D well done ;)

[kostucha22]

Thanks, actually the graphics were really nice until I uploaded it on youtube. I have to try another codec next time.

Dear god, help this man with a proper PC
