The discussion revolves around suggestions for a CAD project involving the modeling of a mechanical device consisting of 5-8 parts, with an emphasis on potential modifications to the design. Participants explore various ideas and seek insights into previous projects undertaken in similar assignments.
Participants do not reach a consensus on a specific device to model, and multiple ideas and preferences are expressed, indicating a variety of competing views regarding the project scope.
Participants mention limitations regarding the number of parts and the requirement for modifications, but there are no specific constraints outlined beyond these parameters.
Students or individuals involved in CAD projects, particularly those focused on mechanical design and assembly, may find this discussion relevant.
What were some of the previous projects in the class for this assignment?nate9519 said:
This is our final project for the class. We do simple modeling for homework like bearing blocks and gaskets but this is the first assembly.berkeman said:
It is a 3d projectNidum said:
I guess I worded my question poorly. What were some of the previous final projects in previous classes?nate9519 said:
Not really sure. I remember my teacher saying a previous student did a birdhouse. So when I say it has to be a mechanical part I am not saying that's a requirement, its just that I would rather model a mechanical part since I am going for a bsme. The only requirements are it has to be 5-8 parts and i have to modify the design in some way.berkeman said:
yea something similar to that. something smaller with less parts would be idealNidum said:
Why less parts? What year are you in school?nate9519 said:
