Pro/E Motorcycle Simulation 2

[tutinez]

very good presentation

[grandle544]

incrible , you is engineer ?

[majorpayne513]

shit, with this sped up like that you look like superman or something lol

[zepy17]

really nice, great job you did,

congrats, i prefer ProE too

[stat332]

is it possible to get a copy of the video to see the way you created it and did it in detail ?

[kramd1]

love the computer analysis at the end.

thanks

[alisarap]

ta  !!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

[vorte1]

Nice job but i think solidworks is smoother program.

[MechRAND]

I am using SolidWorks now, and both programs have their advantages and disadvantages.

[GSotelo23]

@MechRAND what would be some of the disadvantages?... if you don't mind

[valentin0078]

Im just learing this in college...BUT DAM i wasnt making anything thios complex

[dmana3172]

I would love to do that, but unfortunately, it's too hard to learn and I can't train myself by reading books. it's not enough. do you agree?

[MechRAND]

You are right about the books. Application software books, especially for Pro/E, are not terribly helpful.

Here are my two recommendations:

1. Take a course at a community college if it is offered, even if the college is not nearby.

2. Use the software, create something of your own, or try to copy something in real life like a kitchen appliance.

It's just like everything else - the more hours you practice, the better you'll get

Do you want the good news or the bad news?

Good -- The dynamic simulation was very good.

Bad -- Your modeling skills(?) suck big time. If the idea was to just simulate the action and reaction of a mechanism to the terrain, why go through the effort to create all the pieces? There would be just as much information available with disks, links and springs as with the poorly modeled erector-set-type components shown.

great job tom.  you are a talent.

[MechRAND]

Thank you. I have a lot of fun doing this.

As soon as I get a decent video editor up and running, I will post more.

I will also slow down the simulation part for many of you who have requested tutorial style videos.

[BORN2RIFF]

outstanding

[shayrgob]

it takes me 2.5 hours to make a box in proE. lol

[rbackman48]

That is very cool!! do you have any good links to tutorials about using the dynamics in Pro-e?

is there some sort of constraint between the wheel and ground or does it use collision detection?

[MechRAND]

I took the tutorials on PTC's website.

I will try and post a Pro/E dynamics tutorial up here soon.

Yes, you have to define a cam for each of the wheels to the surface. Then you have to enable liftoff and define coefficients of restitution, kinetic friction, and static friction. It will only work with the mechanism dynamics option, not with only the mechanism design package now integral to the base Pro/E package.

Note - the dynamics in Pro/E are planar for any surface dynamics.

2 half hours to do all dat..? nice..

[arsron]

Cool....

[bratcher71]

So, how long did it take you to make this in real time?

[MechRAND]

It took a total of 150 minutes, two and a half hours.

The video is time-lapsed at 1 frame/second and played back at 15 frames/second.
