Designing Sports Car in Inventor 11

[lizweinchester]

your steering is not controlled with the steering wheel. that is the whole purpose

[npatel984]

what software did you use please tell me thanks

[hiklify]

Making the wheels not perpendicualr to eachother give A LOT of friction, you know?

[coombsy16]

looks alot like a super 7......

[lotuselanplus2s]

Hi,i didn't see a watts link or a panhard rod in the back suspension to limit lateral movement.

[kostucha22]

@lotuselanplus2s Sorry for delay I didn't notice it, you don't see the panhard rod because it wasn't a final version, here is a final version watch?v=-XCHwodME_8 ,

[vladimirscc]

This is lotus 7 right?

[The26phillyboy]

yeah VV im in nineth and know all of inventor and almost all of auto cad

[cowgoesmoo2]

pretty sweet. I wish my school has the new version of autodesk rather then the old one

[98michael]

I think it's Solid works doesn't looks like 3Ds

and yea.. my school got the Autodesk 2005

I HATE IT!! i got 2008 in my PC..

[sonnysingh03]

Never heard of such software looks handy when building a home made buggy or go kart!

[639277137]

If I will invent a car, the

speed: speed of light

wheels: invincible, can not be destroyed by anything, everything, etc...

and its Manoumatic

I mean my whole car cant be destroy by gods, even its end of the world....it wont be vulnerable to all, it cant be squeezed, cant be broke by water, lava proof, meteor proof, and etc..... proof to all hahahaha

And its speed is truly great,,speed of light or it can be lightyear/milisec.

[ocean99wave]

so your saying your a 5 year old??

[639277137]

no, my friend tell me to draw that kind of car he wish...i told him theres no kind of car like that...hes crazy

[ocean99wave]

soo ur still saying your a 5 year old

[dermotk5]

you suck

[dj7310]

what sort of student do you have to be? im in highschool

[98michael]

I'm in 10th grade..

I know most of the 3D programs and how to use those.. i know how to use autoCAD 100% (i really hate that program)

and i got all the programing programs such as C++, C#, J#, etc.

so it doesn't matter how old you are. or what school you go to..

[dj7310]

So i just use the school email or somthing?

[JamesThWilliams]

Autocad though it is made by the same company isn't inventor. It's a different program that uses different techniques, however once you learn to use it, it is much easier than autocad as you pointed out how much it sucks at 3-d work.

[jakethepeg1066]

where can i get this software? its great 5 stars

[kostucha22]

If you are a student you can get it here students.autodesk (dot) com, if you are not a student you might want to try PRO/Engineer it's much harder to work with but it's available for non commercial usage for about 300$, normally it cost over (don't remember exactly) 10.000US, another option is CoCreate or Rhinoceros you can download demo versions for free.

[JKTProductionzIncNCo]

or ... u can tyr getting it illegally ;)

[cowgoesmoo2]

That's totally me

[sixburgh97]

can anyone help me out? li have to make a car in inventor for my drafting class and im running into difficulties, can anyone help me out?

[brotha1narms]

dude, thats crazy

[beesplace620]

That is amazing. I am in grade 12 and we are learning Inventor in my drafting class. That is really cool!!!!

[dvlfaulkner]

Excellent model, I have never got around to doing a locost like this so its nice to see one going so well. Are the chassis components all seperate steel tubes, a frame assembly or just solid?

[kostucha22]

No solids, it's very easy to make a frame with a frame generator tool.

[dONLY1NiSH]

how long does it takes you to finish the assembly?

it's good, i like the front part the wheel turn, it must take you long time to mate them isn't iit???

[kostucha22]

I don't remember exactly how long it took me, I think it's easier, faster and simpler to make assemblies in Inventor than with Solidworks, but the problem is that assembled parts sometimes behave strangely, for example you use same constrains for right and left side, one side works perfect and the other one doesn't without any special reason.

[dONLY1NiSH]

I think you'r right, but its also depends on the user what he/her like isn't it?

if user know more on SolidWorks/inventor, user will find it more easier than other..

n e ways thanks for discus that

[kostucha22]

Theoretically you have right but, I've seen some test Inventor vs Solidworks and Inventor was faster in almost every category. Of course solidworks has more tools/options. I have a few weeks to master Solidworks (I have a group project for UNI), so we will see. Maybe I'll change my mind after that. Who knows.

[dONLY1NiSH]

it is like more parts you make, more confusions will be there.

isn't it?

[kostucha22]

Theoreticly yes, but theory and practise vary sometimes, for example when I was making RC car simulation, I had serious problems with gerbox constrains, funny story is that I had those problems when I was making simulation of the front suspension. And the front suspension isn't connected with gearbox at all. I remember I almost lost my mind.

[dajsinjo]

is inventor better than solidworks?

I am thinking about instaling it!

[Pookie250]

its really good i use it at college, very user friendly

[dONLY1NiSH]

solid works is good!

[Triple88a]

your toe in is very screwed up, also ur angle is screwed up too. When you steer a car, you want ur inside tire to turn more than your outside tire, urs is backwards.

[antonmccool]

i suck at inventor, am doing my higher graph comm and we use this for thematics and i suck its fucking hard.

[cullyborn]

where do you get this program or any other like this?

[forspeedrs]

seems like your tie rod geometry and lengths are incorrect and maybe some reverse ackermann as well...

[ys07]

i like inventor, and solidworks too,..good work man

[sklb1tje]

love it

but can you send me the parts and the assembly i've got some great bodywork idea's for it

[tubeofyou12xz0]

I'd put it with an independent rear suspension, but I like it. 5/5 Keep up the good work!

[DIABLAconcept]

PS: I use Rhinoceros 4 and I agree with kostucha22, the software is just a mediator between your hands and your 3D design.

[bcc1207001]

inventor is no more used in automotive designing...lol.....only...PRO­-E,Catia, Unigraphs are used rtttt........

[kostucha22]

The only limitations is your imagination and skills and if u dont have them even the best software cant help u. Because software is only tool in your hands.

LOL

[DIABLAconcept]

A good software may help you design the things easier and faster, but ONLY YOUR SKILLS will help you design them properly.

[bammy07]

so..........it's a 4wd?

[yusufer5000]

With his suspension setup, 4wd/awd would not be possible.

[bammy07]

nice one. i love it.

[bammy07]

so..........it's a 4wd?

[00Mass00]

how did you draw the rims? can i draw them in solidworks?

[kostucha22]

"how did you draw the rims?"

Hard to describe in a just few words do you use Inventor 11?

"can i draw them in solidworks?"

Of course you can but I believe Solidworks is a little bit harder to learn but it has a few extra tools which inventor hasn't.

[00Mass00]

i use solidworks but i am going to install inventor as well. i mean do you draw the rims with extrude and extrude/cut or with help from a wizard? i realy wanna learn, so i could draw/design things that i realy can't draw with my hands.. but its in my head

[yasinege]

maniac i love catia and solidworks

[AHNTLIA]

Modeling anything in any autodesk software is painful and difficult,regardless of how useless it is. By the way they are all very expensive for most average users and demand a lot of system requirements.Just two words; Rhinoceros and Spaceclaim.

They're both affordable and way beyond Nx, Inventor, solidworks or even catia.

[socalschafer]

its accually not harder than it looks. Im only 17 and I've been using this program for the last 4 years. Its time consuming doing a big project such as this one though. If anyone wants to become mecanical engineers then I suggest taking a class on 3d parametric modeling, very useful and necessary tool.

[nickdagamer]

i hate to brake everyones bubble but this program is called inventor 11. it says it at the top. I happen to have a step up from that at inventor professional 2008 and whoever said it is harder than it looks is completely right. If you would like this program then email me at nickdagamer@gmail . com before march 7th, 2008. i will help yu get this program and it is completely legal. I called autodesk themselves and they pointed me there. i will share my knowledge with you.

[Magnificentness]

I have Inventor 9; Can you do things like this in that version?

[kostucha22]

I've never worked with 9 version. Probably u can but I was using frame generator tool and that tool wasnt available in previous versions like 9 so you will have to use other method.

[StephenTCooney]

Technology is amazing :)

[RaT3DrK0]

idk wer u get it but i get it in school n it harder than it looks :(

[240sxkaet]

i think you left out the panhard bar. xD

[GT4Dfenda]

ummm.. where did u download this program for and whats it called?

[o0Roller0o]

where can i get this

[Shazee083]

oh sorry i mean the blueprint for the rim

[Shazee083]

hey can i have the diminision for the wheels for the car.

[kostucha22]

17"x7,5"

[kostucha22]

I just added another movie describing the assembly process of my lotus 7 version car (over 1000 parts)  visit link above (video respond)
