Re: pic: Taigene

yes I did do this in CAD, mainly because I have no clue how to use inventor. This model was done completely from scratch, using a ruler and a motor. As for changing size and shape, there's a nice command called SOLIDEDIT that lets you move pretty much any face anywhere, or shell out a part, among other things. According to my instructor, AutoCAD can do stress analysis, though I don't know how. This motor is just part of my CAD of our entire robot, in this kind of detail. I'm almost done, and should have it up on the site by Sunday. Currently, the file is over 10 Mb! It's been a long process, but it's all going to be worth it. We're hoping to incorporate the model into the Animation, if our animator gets his rear in gear.
