Solidworks FR500 Wheel

[German5.0]

Possible that they use both. I was once working for Audi as a project of my university were we designed the tools for front splitter of the S-Line models (Audi A4) and there we used Catia V5.

Sure thing chiefy! Seriously though...why would you want those when you have the option of having the Shelby wheels! Yes, were doing them.

Cuz...

They have the look I'm going for!

I was just messing around...those models didn't take me all that long...they arent very detailed, but it always fun to draw up some wheels. I would love to draw wheels for a living. As an engineer...most of the time i"m drawing some pretty boring parts. So its nice to mess around with something fun every once in a while. I'm still not very good with the spoke and hub designs...but i like playing around. I also use the program to draw up other parts...control arms, axles, calipers, rotors...things like that. Im sure it would be too difficult to render a whole car..tube chassis or something racy!

Sorry to bump this thread.


I use solidworks at work. Problem is we are using Solidworks 2006 for Windows XP.

My personal laptop is running windows Vista. I can't use any of the software from work yet because they have not updated to vista or SW 2007.

Is there a version that will work with Vista yet??

Cool. I never realized that there were so many CAD guys in here. I am a CAD admin at Thomas Built Buses (Freightliner, Diamler Chrysler). I've always been a ProE guy (we use ProE here at TBB) but the mothership (Diamler) has been pushing us to move to Catia V5. I've used Catia V5 a bunch but I still think ProE wins.

Great wheel models though! I definitely like Catia's rendering capabilities the best.
