NVWOCI WVS Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 This might be a stupid idea, but there seem to be a lot of people on here with designing talent, good ideas and the ability to use CAD software... I propose anyone with an idea makes a CAD model of it and posts up a few screenshots on here. Then we can have a vote, see who's idea is the most inovative, thought out the best and makes best use of the cad software.It could be any component for a trials bike, or any bike really... the more imaginitive the better, but try to keep it realistic!

BenLeacock™ Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 So all you do is literaly design a part ? Think it would be better if you consentrate on a certain area ? Like cause if someone deisgns a frame and someone else designs a tpa then its not really a fair game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

banashapan Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 Just an idea for anyone looking for CAD software, try google sketchup.It's free and gives you the basics in CAD software Heres the linky - http://sketchup.google.com/ - download and give it a wirl !

ben_travis Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 qualified architect not my greatest work that. but instead a rushed piece of work im not that happy with.

forteh Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 On a side note I had a quick play on solidworks last night and have one V brake arm designed, need to run it through FEA some more and tweak the design, then do the bearings and pivot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
psycholist Posted April 30, 2008 Report Share Posted April 30, 2008 (edited) What FEA package are you using? I had a student this year analyse the stress in a bicycle wheel using Abaqus - he took it several notches beyond the 2D simulation in 'The Bicycle Wheel' by Jobst Brandt ... Some boundary condition issues in setting prestress in the spokes though. I built a proMechanica model of the same thing years ago and it worked very well, but won't deal with plastic deformation... Next year I'll see about modeling the stress relieving process (Plastic deformation in the spoke/hub interface) for another project .
