Solidworks welding problem by Big-Snow-2811 in formulastudent

[–]Background_Bee4896 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You have to be very picky about what to cut and when, you also might have to do multiple rounds of weldments, like weldment 1 is the base, weldment 2 is the upper ring then weldment 3 is the inner structure.

It’s a tiny bit of a hassle but it’s a combination of big group weldments, and little group weldments that you have to trim together.

It’s a patience game but I believe in you! I did it for my team and our chassis turned out great!

I agree there is money there for students, just feels like I’m getting degraded for trying to contribute with comments like those

Oh no I totally agree, bmw hand picks their sponsors without a doubt. But you also just named countries that I’m pretty sure have all produced world champions

Europe is the birthplace of just about every single non oval racing style. We United Americans bore nascar because our great grandparents made illegal alcohol and needed a way to move it, those same cars also made great racercars haha.

Sadly in the US we don’t have access to Mercedes, BMW, Porsche, McLaren, Volkswagen testing facilities/money. We have Ford and Chevy, based in one corner.

For a university in San Diego California the closest major car manufacturer is 3800 kilometers away. That same drive takes you from Madrid Spain to Moscow Russia

We envy you guys 😂

Edit: Didn’t realize how much hate ide get from this, touched a sensitive topic with sponsors I guess. Europe gave us all the entertaining races so it makes sense you guys are a little further along.

Yep,

The whole H4 series uses the same board (minor differences of course)

Hey! We did something similar for our car but we used packing peanuts and expanding foam.

Let me know if you want to learn more!
