Car Model

[Bahrar]

Hello all,

I am a mechanical engineering student, and for a project we are doing now we got to design a pneumatic motor for a car. We will have to make the drive system all in ProE, but as an add we would like to put it in a nice design of a car for the presentation.
Does anyone of you people know where I can find a model of a realy nice car in which we could implent an engine and others?

Thanks in advance, my email is [email protected].

Bart's got some real nice car model's here. I've had some issues withe the 350Z model, which is the only one I've played with much, with missing refs on one of the style features and missing JPGs for the trace sketches. The Mustang may be more robust, I don't know. Impressive stuff. They are various versions, some WF2, WF3 and WF4.

I was going to suggest the 350Z model from Design Engine.Nice model.


Doug, I dont have ISDX. It opens fine with my WF4. Do you have problems just opening the file with the missing refs ?

 

[dgs]

No, the file opens fine, even in WF2. It's when I roll back the model to step through and see how it was done that I get a failure in one of the ISDX features, feature #34 (style 12). A surface is missing a ref or something, ISDX is so *&#$*$ inscrutable in failure mode, I have a hard time figuring out what's happening. I emailed Bart, but he didn't get back to me.

I made a guess of fixing it, but then other features down stream fail too. I was trying to work on it in WF2 (where I think it was created) as our users haven't spent much time on WF4 yet. I was trying to maintain the older version that folks were familiar with. I need to fire up WF3 or WF4 and give it a go.

If he just needs a body to plop around his drive train, it ought to work well.

Hi Doug, its a strange one. I can open the model, go back into any part of the model tree without any issues... I guess NOT having ISDX has its advantages after all lol.


I do howeverget thefile missing error, NISSAN-Z3.jpg.. It doesnt make mine fail however as it cannot link into ISDX.

Is the zip missing the jpg?Put the jpeg into the folder where you retrieve the model and don't drag out of the zip file. It should work fine.

It is a tangent issue probably. I can fix the car you are going to use ... if you want that 350z?

i dont have ISDX and it opens fine for me, however I do get the failure on the isdx feature.


I have used ISDX a few time before and to be honest when i was using it i felt like i was blind, i going back and checking refs was a pain!!

There are no JPEGs in the zip file for the 350z. The Mustang has some, but not all, of the JPEGs. I downloaded them a few weeks ago, so if you've updated them since that may not apply.

I for one would love to have the 350z model fixed, if you've got time. I wanted to walk through to see how you did it and then to use the JPEGs to try to re-create it myself. I was trying to work with it in WF2, perhaps WF3 or WF4 works better. I need to get off of WF2 as my default, but I can't get my primary client at the moment to make the jump.

No worries, I'm pretty busy now too so I can't get to it until later.
