Basic Tutorial of the Catia Gear Joint

Making the model of the pump, I realized that I didn't remember how to use the gear joint of the module Kinematics of Catia. But I didn't find any good tutorial to help me. After visit a  forum I practiced a little and remember how to do it.

For that reason, I left a very basic tutorial of making a gear joint in the Catia's kinematic module.

Lobe Pump

As the previous model, this one I made using some drawings in the blog ELciri. This case is a lobe pump using some gears.

Basic vehicle suspension

Hi everyone. Altough I have to finish the Formula One of Alfa Romeo that I commented, I did other designs to increase my capabilities.

I found some new drawings of a vehicle suspension in the blog Elciri. So, I decided to freeze the Formula One and do some small projects to help my motivation.

This first design is clear. It is a simple suspension for a vehicle, originally for a toy or a R/C, although it can be modified to serve for a Kart or a Buggie.

If people ask me, I don't have any issue in show a tutorial of How to do it.

X-15 aircraft model

With some free time, I managed to create a 3D model in a scale of the X-15. I will see how much cost will be to print it in 3D.

It took me around 3-4 days but not working in it too many hours. As modificatins, I am thinking in a landing gear (front wheel and rear skies) and the logo of the USAF and NASA in the fuselage. I made a video in which some of the alierons and mobile surfaces are spinning.

Hopefully you like it ;)

The render I did very fast since my actual computer does not have a lot of RAM.
