3-D Modeling Challenge 2

[richhrebic]

I use Pro/E 2001 and I was thinking about how to model a part such as a soccer ball or golf ball or geodesic sphere (or any sphere consisting of identical interlinking facets).

It seems like such a part could be constructed fairly easily using patterns and a spherical coordinate system, but I haven't had any luck.

Is any one out there up to the challenge?

Hi Rich,

Soccer ball has been modeled here

I have also seen golf ball modeled on some web site.

It is on the SolidWorks forum, but there is info in it which you should be able to use.

If you choke a smurf, what color does it turn?
