FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Here are the links to A360 for the Autodesk Inventor and STEP format files for the FRC field 2016.

Autodesk Inventor

1. All the parts are grounded in the main assembly. The game allows for the field to be changed, so remove the grounded status from any structures and then move to a new location adding constraints or grounding as required.

STEP

1. The parts will not be grounded when you open the file. When I open a STEP file I ground the parts to get started.

Please let me know if the download works OK. I have tested it and worked for me.

All the best for 2016.

Download works fine for me. Thank you for doing this Phil. Much appreciated!

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Can you email me at phil.dollan@autodesk.com to follow up on the R3 update question.

Thanks

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

When converting either file to solidworks, it either completely breaks or creates spheres where objects are supposed to be. Can someone convert to solidworks and post a download?

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Are you opening the STEP file in SW?

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

I am opening the step file in SolidWorks, as well as trying to open the Autodesk file and converting it, no luck either way.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

OK. Let me try a couple of different work flows and I will get back to you.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Ok, thanks!

For reference, this is what opens when I open the STEP file.

Not even close!

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Hello Phil,

Is there any word about when the 2016 KOP CAD will be out? We specifically need am14U3 so we can start to play with it.

Thanks!

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Glad you asked. Currently uploading!! Check within an hour or 2 for the download link. I will probably start a new thread.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Not sure what CAD program you are using, but here is the link to SolidWorks KOP files.

Chris,

If you still need the field model try these formats. One is IGES and the other is STL

Thanks for doing this!

For what it's worth, the STEP file imported fine for me in SolidWorks 2015 (which I think is analogous to the student version for 2015/16).

Here's a view from the middle driver's station (using the camera and perspective):

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Thank You, Greatly appreciated!

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Thank you so much! It finally works.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

For what it's worth, the Inventor format listed is the 2016 version of Inventor, which isn't backwards compatible with 2015. 2015 is what we have on our school computers.

The STEP import is working fine for me, and even comes through with proper color. So I'll work to upload the 2015 Inventor version of the field to my GrabCAD tonight, then publish it so it's available at our team CAD library link in my signature.

Edit - turns out the upload was pretty quick - Direct Link

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

These appear to be Inventor 2016 files, my team chose not to upgrade this year - can you save as 2015?

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

You have to use the STEP version, because Inventor 2016 doesn't have the option to export Inventor 2015-compatible files.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

I opened the STEP file in SW 2015-16 Student Edition. Some minor face and gap errors, but I think all the critical parts are OK. I put the SW files on GrabCAD. I renamed the game specific assemblies from their drawing numbers to their names in the Game Manual so that they are easier to identify in the feature manager. I also created a new assembly of the tower and batter.

Phil, mucho mahalo for the STEP file!

Heading to Maui on Monday.

Mahalo,

Hi Phil
Is there a DWF version of the 2016TeamVersion of the Defence Drawings.
vs PDF only versions?

Thanks
Andy

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Hi Phil

Also.. the drawings GE 16185-16188 showing details of the HDPE plastic on the batter around the Tower are missing from the set of field drawings.
We were hoping to have a team version of the tower for practice with the Polyethylene surface for realism.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Andy,

Unfortunately no on both. I do not have any access to the drawings, They are created by FIRST or a vendor. I will email my contact at FIRST and see if they can track down the missing drawing.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

The STEP file imported fine into SolidWorks 2014. Thanks Phil!

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Here is the link to Dassault System's FRC downloads, with the field converted to SolidWorks parts, if you'd like.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Any update on the KOP CAD? I can only find the one on the SolidWorks website. (I'm looking for Inventor, 2016 is ok)

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

Yes, I posted it on January 9. Check this thread.

It is also posted on the Autodesk Education First site.

Let me know if this works for you.

Re: FRC Field 2016 Download
 

For those of you using SolidWorks, the download on the SolidWorks website is a very clean import. The parts are floating, however, and being an import the colors are missing. I have downloaded and 'fixed' all the parts in space, as well as added colors to most of the parts. In addition I have added some advanced mates to allow the 'outer works' to actually move as they would in the game. You can find this file on grabcad in the comments section. I'm in contact with SolidWorks right now, and am working to get the updated version posted on there as well.
