Haha, got you covered.

 

Sharif said I should pick up another ,00010 whp with the polishing,

 

After ZdayZ....I am down for that....I will leave the car on the eastcoast ...

 

Terry,
do you have the files you downloaded I might be able to convert them into something useable for you.

 

I think a simple design like this pic will do the trick:

 

That's badass.

 

Have you tried 3d studio Max? It will direclty export to stl file which most 3d printer machines can print from.

 

ZDayz sounds very interesting..... What's the deal with the runway racing is its side by side and how long is the runway?

 

Yes it's side by side racing and I think last year it was a 4,000 foot runway.

The fluid flow modelling software (Symscape) requires STEP (.stp) or IGES (.igs) files. The G35 STEP files I downloaded from the Internet sites were not adequate. Apparently, they were designed so that they look nice, but there were two many errors in them to import into Symscape. IGES file formats were not available.

One of the websites had an option to convert the files into a number of different file formats, so I did so and tried to import each of these into both Alibre and SpaceClaim (engineering level 3D modeling software), hoping I would be able to then convert them into a STEP file that would work with Symscape. However, none of these files would even properly import into Alibre or SpaceClaim.

If you have 3D studio max and would like to see if any of these files will import into that, PM me your e-mail address and I will send them to you. It would be great if you could get them to import and then export them into a STEP file I can work with.

 

Thank you, Danny. I just e-mailed the files to you. If you can get one of them to convert to a STEP file that will properly import into Alibre, that would be great!!! Once I have it in Alibre, I can add the underbody components onto it, re-export it, then give Symscape a try.

 

I think Catia can open .stp files.

I can try to see if they have catia on campus and try to import/export for you.

I'd do it at work but that's against the rules

 

I know i already said this but, have you asked Five Axis if they have a 3d model/do a 3d model of a G35?

 

Terry, I got you email I will send you a couple new files in a bit here.

 

There are a number of Five Axis links via Google. If I remember correctly, I pursuid the one that looked most promising, but didn't get anywhere as far as getting a proper 3D model of the G35 that would work for our purposes. If I missed something, please let me know.

When I try to import the files that I have into Alibre, the “points” menu item in the side tool bar is crossed out, which may indicate that the original designer did not precisely connect the points, but merely eye-balled it. What we need is a precise model of the G35 that is compatible with 3D engineering programs and, in particular, Alibre since that is the one I ended up purchasing.

 

Mike give it up....we know you sold the G to get a nissan Cube!!!!!!

Thats what I use... the issue is that the G35 model provided has to be built w/ no open verts or double edges, otherwise it will not export properly. All or / or most of the g models out there via T-squid or other model libraries are not built this way since they are mostly shoddy game meshes... A new g35 model will have to be created the proper way using the original for nothing else other than a guide. Terry could import the diffuser I created but not the G itself... It will have to be re-created. Regardless,.. when entering into this realm of product development, as far as stress testing and data analysis, its not just a matter of "making a model". Millions of dollars go into product development of this nature, down from professionally creating the model via CAD/CAM software ala solidworks/ solid edge/ Catia/ ects. then exporting it along w/ all the supporting modules to analysis software ala Pro-E...w/ neglegible tolerances. - If anything is not built to spec, the testing will fail... I suppose you could import generic shapes for simple flow observation, but personally, if XKR is traveling 200mph, I would not want anything I export out of entertainment software and / or something that has not gone through the proper channels to be responsible if anything should go wrong.... I would just take the car to a fab shop that has professional exterior aero knowledge and bang it out what ever makes sense... then do iterative runs at incremental speeds to make sure everything is fine.... G/L. and be safe.

 

................Correction....Nissan Cube TT

 

That is the plan Crom....If the computer program wont work....we will get a Fab guy to build it.... Thanks for the input

 

Should of thought of that before you worked on the 2012, I want my $14 back.
