    Boolean Operation - "Assemble" and "Add" difference

    Hi, I don't see any difference between the two boolean features "assemble" and "add". Is there a difference? I'm sure there is but I can't figure it out.

    Wheel House Clearance to Tire

    Hi Greg and everyone else, The question is, "by design, how much clearance from the tire to all surrounding parts is required." Before you answer, here is what we've done so far... we have the maxim tire profile from TRA, we put the suspension through the full range of motion and we added...

    Creating a generic tire envelope

    Sory but I don't get what you guys are saying. (Norm or Greg). Here an example using the 44% rule of thumb for the SLR; Given: 205/55R16 The side wall would be 112.75 mm (205 x .55) The rim diameter would be 406.4mm (16 x 25.4) The nominal diameter would be 631.9 (112.75 + 112.75 + 406.4)...

    Creating a generic tire envelope

    It is used as a visualization tool and for rough packaging. You are right. The input is supposed to be the nominal section width, not the tread width. Also, the aspect ratio is supposed to be %, not mm. I'm trying to come up with a formula that outputs a relatively accurate max grown. If...

    Creating a generic tire envelope

    Hmmmm, I'm going to have to do a little research to figure out what you mean by that braking comment. I also went to your link for forum policies and saw that I wasn't supposed to ask that question in the thread I just started. If I can't figure it out, I'll have to start another thread but...

    Creating a generic tire envelope

    I'm creating an editable tire envelope (CAD) and would like to hear some suggestions to improve it. It is used as a visualization tool and for rough packaging. I'm assuming all the characteristics of a radial tire for now. The user has to enter the following inputs; Tread Width (mm); 185 for...
