CAD Model Features


 I finished the passenger base and I got halfway through the passenger section
The most challenging part was figuring out the distance between points
Everything else was easy
Why does CAD take so long to open?

Shelter post

1. Triangles and pentagons were used in the design. We used triangles since  they are the strongest shapes and pnetagons because thats how they ended up when we used the pentagon
2. The angles that resulted from the triangles and Pentagon's were 60°
3. The overall surface area was about 44 inches. I would cover this with steel walls to protect the insides
4. The interior was about 50 inches so about 100 people would fit inside if the scale was 1 inch to 1 foot (two floors)
5. I took into consideration the amount of force it would sustain however I did not use any of these in the determining the design
6. Form follows function was considered in this creation by making the "dome" in between very long and very tall. This building takes into consideration that people would have to hide if this was a fallout shelter and this building makes it blend to trees with the same height and a thick width.

How do you make a cone post

How do you make a cone?
Making a cone in inventor is basically building on a circle
Use the Video for more info
In a short summary make i triangle using the line function and right click on the inner leg and use the revolve function once your in the revolve function click the inner leg again and a cone should show as the preview select the cone and you have a cone

This is what my partner helped me do: a torus, cylinder and sphere (not using the sphere option)

Everyday Fixing Reflection Post

The color of this is supposed to be a black metallic look, the size and shape is actual size to help move the chair into a better position.
I made this by using a metallic or PVC pipe that is about 1/4" then make a flower shape then connect it to the school desk chair to allow you to make the position
This meets the requirements by improving the way students learn to make sure that they get the best posture without straining their body. It also adds a cushion to prevent posterior injury and pain.
This reminds me of being lazy at work
This is similar to a reclining chair however, it is unique because you can change the 'desk' part to suit you if your left or right handed and it also allows you to write in the optimal position by turning the knob. Since everyone write differently and in different positions this allows you to be in a better position to write.
This could be better by making the chair more stable to prevent falling down.

Cube Reflection

1. It is important to model an idea before making a prototype because it allows you to see any flaws with your idea and it allows you to get constructive feedback on your idea
2. I used none of the restraints
3. When a person says "I used a design process to solve the problem at hand" they mean that they went through a process or cycle that involves brainstorming, sketching (isometric, multi-view, and 3D), creating a prototype, building and testing. At first I created an idea that I later sketched into something that would look like the finished product. After that I made a 3D view with inventor to represent the cube.
4. The puzzle solution is not affected by the gender of the person solving the puzzle because the person that is solving it has a different approach than the others.
5A. The younger people solve the puzzle faster than the older people. All my people that solved it were younger than the people that didjt solve it.
B. A(age)=1/2y(puzzle piece)x^2(minutes by minutes)
C. 3=1/2(5)x^2->1/2(5)(3)^2=1/2(5)(9)=1/2(45)=22.5 minutes
D. 95=1/2(5)x^2->1/2(5)(95)^2=1/2(5)(9025)=1/2(45125)=22562.5 minutes or 16 days
E. The first one makes sence but the second doesnt because 16 days is too long for any one person but 22.5 minutes is logical
F. 60 minutes
G. 15.6 minures, 20 minutes and 3.7 minutes
