Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around the use of Pro Engineer (Pro-E) software for modeling a Dewalt Impact driver. Participants share their experiences with the software, showcase their progress, and discuss its applications, particularly in the context of design and analysis.

Discussion Character

  • Exploratory
  • Technical explanation
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant expresses excitement about their rapid progress in using Pro-E, having transitioned from basic shapes to a detailed model of an impact driver within a week.
  • Others commend the participant's work and express admiration for their ability to learn the software quickly, noting its steep learning curve.
  • Another participant mentions creating every single part inside the driver, indicating a deep engagement with the modeling process.
  • There is a question about the purpose of the model, with one participant humorously suggesting it might be for nailing hunting requisites onto the wall.
  • Participants discuss the potential use of the model for Finite Element Analysis (FEA) stress analysis, with one participant indicating they will use it for this purpose in a school computer lab.
  • Concerns about the cost of Pro-E are raised, with some participants speculating on the availability of student versions or discounts.
  • One participant reflects on their own struggles with 3D modeling and expresses uncertainty about continuing to pursue it.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on the impressive nature of the work done with Pro-E, but there are differing views on the purpose of the model and the challenges of using the software. The discussion remains unresolved regarding the effectiveness of the software for various users.

Contextual Notes

Some participants express uncertainty about their own skills in 3D modeling and the applicability of Pro-E for their needs. There are also references to the limitations of the software's accessibility due to cost.

Who May Find This Useful

This discussion may be of interest to individuals learning CAD software, particularly Pro-E, as well as those involved in product design and engineering analysis.

Ahahahahah, I got addicted to playing with Pro-E for my Dewalt Impact driver project and I ended up making this. I started out only knowing how to make basic shapes like squares and circles and then I made this thing in a week!

Now I must make the driver, front driver head, attach on handel, and battery pack.

Its close, but not perfect, to the real thing

Cool, looks pretty good so far. :D
 
That is some really good work there. The fact that you are able to do all of that in a week is really impressive. Pro-E can have a brutal learning curve but it looks like you mastered the curve, so it is smooth sailing from tis point out.
 
Here we go, its now finished! :biggrin:

Wow, I can't believe it came out that good! :

Ok, so I went a little more nuts and made EVERY single part inside the driver!

I made it in the computer lab at school. I am going to use it for FEA stress analysis.

Yah that product is pretty amazing but expensive. Maybe I'll see if I can download a copy:smile:

That is a 3d image, looks pretty good.

Sometimes you'll be interested in the work because of what you actually can do and that is who you are than a single image of woodwork driller.

About your stress analyses I am sure I can not help, since it's not new at all and I am no a 3d image professional. I have tried and failed several times, I know that.
Sometimes I tried, and my acts turned me weird really cruel to several people. Do you think I should continue drawing 2-3d stuff ? It is not a disappointing idea over what I am trying out, I am nice to be in the way I am to be so that my things would always look nice and neat whenever and whatever I do.

You don't sound right about that.
