    leaf spring in SW

    I really appreciate the advice. I am using SW2001+, so I will give the last method a shot. I am not really interested in getting ultra precise with respect to the spring deflection. I know from real world situations that you should olny have about 3" of uptravel on a leaf spring, and...

    leaf spring in SW

    I was wondering if there was a way to place a leaf spring into a drawing and be able to have it flex when you move a part that is connected to it, or is this beyond the scope of SW. I am trying to model a standard leaf spring suspension, and have run into this little issue. Any help would be...

    Roll cage tubing

    Thanks for the info. A guy at work that uses ProE was able to explain some general theory about parametric drawing to me. I was able to create the cage part by part using sweeps and basic extrusions. Then I pieced them all together using the planes for mating objects over a construction line...

    engine/drivetrain model

    Does anyone have or know where I could find a basic model of a V8 engine and transmission? I am looking for just the external view so that I can use it to model the drivetrain for my rock crawler. Just hoping to save some time if someone else has already done this. Thanks in advance.

    Roll cage tubing

    I am very new to solid works 2001+ and am trying to get a model of a custom rock crawling buggy (no suspension at this time) completed so that construction can begin (big first bite I know). I have modeled the frame and a simplified version of the engine, but I am having difficulty getting the...
