has anyone ever bothered to draw a model of a yb engine in solidworks?

 

can you tell what is it yet? LOL

 

lol

 

whats funny?

 

Well no but you can find such tutorials on internet so you just have to follow the steps. Never bothered doing it myself tho.

 

started doing one in Inventor but ive only done the head, cams, valves and cam cover so far

 

Any chance you want to share the models? Id love to have a play about with them in catia if you willing to part with them.

 

il tidy it up a bit when i get a chance and post it on here, i need a proper dimensioned drawing of a YB to get it all lookin right as at the moment its just an engine from memory with a cossie cam cover on it!

 

 

i know how to do it,,, im just being lazy LOL

 

i looked for ages cos i couldnt be bothered to do it myself, its easy to get it to look roughly right but getting it to actually look right will take ages. I havent used solidworks but its taken a while on inventor because ive made it work like an engine, so if i rotate the crank the cams rotate and the valves open and close etc

 

My plan is to design a space frame cosworth

 

Not quite a space frame but I did this in Solidworks using 3D sketching



Took me far too long

Would you use 3D sketching for a space frame or build it as an assembly from individual parts ?

 

A bit of both to be honest
