Oh, it works for me (obviously). can you open the chassis assembly? I wonder if your download was corrupted.. could try downloading again, if that
doesn't work, maybe reinstall solidworks?

If its "chassis.SLDASM" then no i cant, i can see them both in the preview window though :/ i will try downloading and reinstaling, as
sometimes when i quit it crashes with an unhandled exception.

If some one can u2u me with the info on where to upload... I have a small library of parts I'd like to share too, some basic wheels, hyabusa
engine model, a basic rendering of a 13b (rotary engine), shocks, nuts, bolts, a few human figures, some gears (chain drives), and a bunch of
imcomplete (i got bored before finishing them) items.
I am using 2004.
Also people who are using the older versions of solidworks can probably find the newer version on p2p sites like kazaa, their older authentication
codes should work on the newer version (at least that's what Ive been told). Ive been told that at least the '03 works on the '05
version, not sure how far back it will work. There might also be SW crack programs available on p2p sites such as kazaa.

It would also be nice to have a database of parts ex:
.....................Chasiss
..................../............\
...........Frame............. Suspension
........../.........\............./........|........\
Book............+4..... Front...Rear...Shocks
Then for each part
..........................Original
........................./.............\
.....Modified by user A.......Mod by B
......../..................\
Mod by C.........Mod by D
......................./.............\
..............Mod by E........Mod by F
Sorry about all the periods, Ive never been good at ascii.
I would like to see a directory where each part that is original, my 13b for example which is quite unrefined, gets updated where a user can download
the model, then upload it with changes, having let's say 3 versions of the finished engine, each one slighly more finished than the last.

Nothing to do with american food additives then?
If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I have some models based on mx5 running gear that I can stick on.
I've only modelled a rear quarter of the chassis so far so I'll build up a full chassis model & download that.

If anyone has models they'd like to contribute, you can email them to me and I'll bung them up on a little temporary webspace until
something cleverer is worked out.

Assembly / Part files
Blueshift
I downloaded your .zip file and the extracted files look ok.
I'm totally "virgin" with Soliworks (I have 2003 ... not complete - no user manual).
How did you do the parts (tubes) and the assembly (chassis)? Parts first and then put together (how?)? or assembly first?
Can you give me some guidance? I might contribute a little if I manage to be able to work with the da.. thing.
BTW I have the correct dims for the balljoints.

Uhm, do the solidworks tutorials first.
If others want to email me some things to contribute, jon at leetfighter dot com. I will put up a little blurb about how I made the chassis if I do a
little site for the files.
Basically though, the tubes are extruded squares, laid out with mates and using blind and extrude-to-surface, then fixed and the mates deleted (or it
got too unwieldy). I think all the mates are there to do an adjustable length engine bay though, should be possible to unsupress a lot of them and
float the front tubes and have a nice auto recalculating front end. A few red herring old mates in there though, so not super straightforward.

13B drawing
could i get a copy of the 13B model if possible. IS there a Turbo on it? If not any idea how much bigger it is with a turbo attached??
i need to figure out if a 13B T engine will fit into a Dax rush.

I spent a while adding my rear suspension to this solidworks model.
OMG the wheels are sticking into the chassis WTF....??? Ahhh - it's a +4 wide model.
Doh!!! - I'll bring it down to book dims eventually......... when I figure out how!
cheers

They are similar. SolidEdge actually sells SolidWorks their engine. However, the user interface is much easier in SolidWorks. If you understand
SolidEdge, you'll have no trouble with SolidWorks.

Cor, this topic brings back memories.
I think I have redone the front suspension since.

old old old old old old thread!
Only just signed upto this site a few days ago. I've finally got hold of solidworks 08 and was wondering how far everyone got with this parts
directory/database?
I had a quick look on solidworks' own website - they do have their own forums with a "Data Exchange" section which could be
something to do with swapping designs.
I don't know if it would be worth setting up a standalone "LocostDesigners.co.uk" forum with all solidworks parts/design discussion
etc?
Might be a bit extreme?
Just wondered

Yes there are.
I have made the Sierra front upright from a drawing posted at the forum.
See if you like.
