The X-Plorer 1 is the first jet engine model designed entirely by JetX Engineering, a team of enthusiastic engineering students at the University of Glasgow. The high bypass, double spool turbofan was scaled down and optimised for 3D-printing. Over 50 engineering students have been involved in the design that includes all typical rotating parts, pneumatics and is the first ever 3D-printed model to feature an integrated monitoring system! The purpose of JetX is to bring together young people with an interest in aerospace and the current project has been a design and engineering exercise of a much larger scale and…
TOP DOWN Modeling of a light aircraft My name is Giovanni Vitiello and I did this project for my bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering at ” Università di Napoli Federico II ” on January 2017. The P92 Eaglet is an all metal, high wing, two-place, a single-engine airplane equipped with tricycle landing gear, built by Tecnam, an aeronautical company of Italian region Campania. The work dealt with the combination of geometrical and curve&surface modeling. I used the various workbench of CATIA V5, such as Part Design, Assembly Design, Wireframe & Surface Design and Aerospace SheetMetal Design. Particularly this last workbench…
TO TRAP ENERGY FROM SURFACE WATER FLOW Environmental issues including ozone layer depletion have become a significant issue because of vanishing natural resources and CO2 emissions according to sustainable use of fossil fuels during industrialization processes. The Vertical Axis Waters Turbine (VAWT) is a device, simple in construction and which gives an appreciable output. Using water resource to produce electricity is a perfect option. But due to complexity of design and initial costs and also absence of a good design for a small scale energy production the small-scale water turbines are not used. One of the biggest disadvantages of water…
The Surface Grinder is mainly used in the finishing process. It is a very precise tool which uses a stationary, abrasive, rotating wheel to shave or finish a metallic surface which is held in place by a vise.Designed in CATIAV5 Source: https://academy.3ds.com/en/projects/surface-grinding-machine
The function of the separation module is to supply the bar to the production process by using a notched tray. Source: https://academy.3ds.com/fr/projects/separation-module-of-an-automatic-bar-distribution-system
3-D Voronoi diagram model used to simulate the compression response of open-cell Aluminum foam core material, which is loaded in a sandwich structure. 3-D Voronoi model had been carried out to accurately represent the real characteristics of Aluminum foam. Model was enhanced by increasing number of foam cells relative to unit volume, taking into account not only plastic properties of material forming of Voronoi struts but also plastic properties. In addition, Johnson-Cook model was encapsulated in the model to define plastic properties. The advantages of using Johnson-Cook model is that the developed model can be simulated at different strain rates….
We are students at Ha Noi University of Science and Technology in Viet Nam. This project is used visual basic programming embaced in SolidWorks API to automate design.Our teacher program software calculate the basic data input to roller gear then export into excel file and automate open SolidWorks.Then the code was programed in SolidWorks API continue calculate another the data,auomative draw each part and assembly to a completive reducer box. Currently, there are some oversea companies producing this reducer type with single or double transmissions. In the meantime, there is a few of research projects in Vietnam go to experimental…
WORLD FINALS of 4×4 in schools, R&D AWARD Scope of the Technology Challenge was to actually build a radio controlled four-wheel drive (4×4) vehicle, to the specifications provided. The model should be able to navigate successfully and complete obstacles on an off road test track just as demanding as the real thing. It emulates the capabilities of full size 4×4 vehicles. The 3D CAD model was created with Solidworks software to the level of detail required to create an actual construction. Source: https://academy.3ds.com/en/projects/pole-position-4×4
Using CATIA Knowledge Advisor and Catalog Hello, Everyone My name is Cho Hyeon Gon. I am 24 years old. And I live in South Korea, DaeGu. I major in Mechanical engineering in Yeungnam University, South Korea. This automobile is Lego Technic 42037. The automobile is Off-road automobile for mountain or a steep path. This automobile has a 4-cylinder engine and rear-wheel drive. I made this Lego automobile a 3D data using CATIA V5. Lego has a lot of the same shape. And there are many parts. So I need to use CATIA’s knowledge Advisor and Catalog Workbench properly. Below are…
Exploiting structural instabilities for the design of a shape-changing air duct. The structural instabilities and elastically-nonlinear behaviour of post-buckled panels are used to design an adaptive air inlet. The device comprises a shape-changing post-buckled composite component that can adapt its configuration in response to varying operating conditions. The inlet aperture is regulated without external mechanisms for actuation and only relies on the pressure field imposed on the structure by the surrounding fluid. ABAQUS is used to design the nonlinear behaviour of the post-buckled composite plate and to simulate its interaction with the airflow. Gaetano Arena PhD student Bristol Composites Institute…
Background: Computational modeling is increasingly useful for analyzing medical implants used in orthopedic medicine, such as joint replacements implanted into more than 3 million people worldwide each year. However, it is rarely used for predicting clinical outcomes due to lack of available clinical data suitable for use as model inputs and the difficulty of achieving correspondence between model predictions and clinical performance. During ongoing collaborations with surgeons specializing in total knee replacement (TKR), we obtained TKR alignment data and in vivo joint motions (i.e. kinematics) collected from patients, some of whom experienced poor clinical outcomes. The involved surgeons suspected TKR…
Dassault Systèmes (3DS) held its annual industry analyst event last week and demonstrated real progress in understanding its 3DEXPERIENCE Platform strategy. Not only was the message as consistent as ever across the disparate parts of 3DS, but the actual implementation of the platform was demonstrated in a number of cases. In recent years, it has targeted twelve industries and defined 3DEXPERIENCES at a detailed level and important roles for each industry. A primary focus of the corporate strategy is to use the 3DEXPERIENCE platform to increase the total addressable market (TAM) for software and service sales. The TAM for software…
Understanding Dassault Systemes corporate brand positioning has been a real challenge for me. While I have minimal difficulties understanding their product lines—CATIA, ENOVIA, DELMIA, SOLIDWORKS, and all the rest are competent, competitive, and (so far as engineering software can be) straightforward to understand—it’s their corporate brand positioning (marketing messages) that I’ve struggled with. Consider the following, taken from the Dassault Systemes website: Dassault Systèmes has entered a new phase in the evolution of how we bring value to our customers – moving beyond PLM to deliver holistic, 3DEXPERIENCE to imagine sustainable innovations capable of harmonizing products, nature and life.
