Suspension & Steering Geometry (Front) | 4 Wheeler | Double Wishbone | Anti-Ackerman

6 9 Intermediate
In this video tutorial, i have shown how to make Front Suspension and Steering geometry of a 4 wheeler. Here, I have taken an All terrain Vehicle(ATV) suspension and steering system for reference, but same approach can be applied while designing for Standard cars and other vehicles. Only the parameters will change according to the type and dynamics of the vehicle. Suspension type- Double Wishbone Steering geometry type- Anti-ackerman Model link:- https://grabcad.com/library/suspension-and-steering-geometry-4-wheeler-1 Basic Parameters used :- 1. Wheelbase= 55 inches 2. Trackwidth= 52 inch (Front and Rear same) 3.Front Ground clearance= 15 inches 4. Rear Ground clearance= 14 inches 5. KPI angle= 7° 6. Castor angle= 12° 7. Knuckle length= 6 inches 8. Spindle length= 120 mm 9. Spindle length (for wheel nut)= 75 mm 10. Steering Arm length= 80 mm 11. Steering Arm angle with spindle= 110° 12. Tyre Outer Diameter= 23 inches Please note that these parameters are used just for educating and learning purpose. Concrete calculations and certain other important factors related to Vehicle dynamics and Handling along with suspension analysis are considered and performed before designing any suspension and steering system of any vehicle. But these values are close to the standard industry values. I also used them in various college level projects. So they can be used as reference values.

Surface modelling a mouse in Solidworks

20 8 Intermediate
When you want to model a mouse in Solidworks, e.g. HP X3000 or similar, there is no easy way to do it. You'll need to create several individual surfaces that are trimmed and filleted into the final shape. It is not a linear process because many of the input splines are qualified guesswork, that needs to be revised/reshaped to achieve the wanted result. It is more art than engineering...!

See 'The Light©' with the '3 Step Max'-Challenge

7 6 Intermediate
I have realised, that we never disclosed any solution to this challenge: https://grabcad.com/groups/weekly-challenge-group/discussions/3-step-max so here comes a complete tutorial on how I did it. Even though the model is only 3 steps, it contains 7 features and the tutorial use 27 steps, because there are some necessary extra steps needed to make it work in my ancient (but expensive) Solidworks 2014. You will learn some essential tricks such as 'Fit Spline' along the way and maybe eventually see 'The Light©'.

Want to Improve your Modeling Skills in SW?

24 5 Intermediate
This, more than a tutorial, is a series of recommendations to improve your SolidWorks modeling skills. We cannot forget that if we are on the road and it has become easier, it is because others have already walked it and contributed their share to the evolution of us. List of some SolidWorks Masters from whom we should learn: Thomas Parel https://www.coroflot.com/parel/Portfolio1 Edward Eaton (Dimonte Group) https://dimontegroup.com/projects/mistronics-advantage-housing/ https://dimontegroup.com/projects/natus-echo-screen-iii/ https://dimontegroup.com/news-resources/ Mike J.
