Default CAD Model of Model A Engine
Hi Guys,

Thought I'd share what I have been working on. This started out as a way to model some accessories I've been thinking about and I got a little carried away. I got to a point where I decided to just model the whole engine. These are renderings of the CAD model I have created. Dimensionally, it is fairly accurate. It is Modeled in Solidworks.

Really awesome. Top picture -There appears to be a random piece of fan belt coming off the bottom of the fan pulley going over the to side of the motor. Reminds me of M.C Escher prints. The piece routes in front of the fan belt, but looks like it is going to the side of the motor.

What you're seeing is the fan blade.

Very nice. Even the "reflections" seem spot on.

I've thought about that. Some of the detail would need to be taken out though. What scale would you be interested in?

Damn, that is impressive. I wanted to do the same thing but it's a bit above my abilities. Does the inside look as good as the outside? Also how many parts in the assembly?

WOW!! Outstanding piece of work. This must have taken many hours, even for all of the parts, much less the assembly. You have to be at the top of the pile of Solidworks users. Congrats. What is your profession??

I design 4wd suspension components for the automotive aftermarket. I work a lot with OE CAD data and 3D scans.
