Finally Getting Stuff Done10/20/2020 Well... the past few weeks have been a challenge. First off I want to apologize for not getting a blog post out for a while. After a brief conversation with Mr. Barker explaining why I hadn't posted in a while he told me to write about what was happening and why that was preventing me from being able to make progress on the project. So here's why I haven't posted in a while.
The software for both AutoCAD and AutoInventor have not been working well so the days that I can get on the computer and work on my drawings and models of the chassis I haven't been able to do that. For the past two weeks both of those have been working so I have made a great amount of progress on finishing the design and modeling step in my process. I am almost finished with the 3D model which is on AutoInventor and I have learned a lot about that software. On AutoInventor you can basically make anything. I have made individual parts and then I have constrained them together to make the model. I might even to a particle test (basically a virtual wind tunnel) on the sim chassis if I have time and can figure out how to do it. The next step in the process is to buy all of the supplies that I need to build the chassis. I think I am going to ask Mr. James if he will help me build the chassis because the Auto Tech shop has space, tools, a welder, and good lighting for taking videos. That is still TBD because the software could crash again and make me wait two more weeks to finish the 3D model. Hopefully it doesn't do that because I am ready to get this done and move on to the building process.
