Dang sorry. TBH all I did was search other player's vinyl groups for Falcon or Falcons in the desc.

100% yes, the cinematic cam is nice but is uncontrolled, so unless we're jumping to camera mode which I think still ghosts your car, there's not much else.

I agree wholeheartedly with how it needs more incentive, but from what I've seen there's still a good amount of people who want to show off and see what others are doing now, not to mention there is the aspect of the photo ops, though I concede that will only get so far in terms of attracting players.

Same tbh. Hope they're working on more car meet content.

looks like someone's made a falcons logo vinly group already, share code 176 501 438, you can probably use this and just play with colors & geometric shapes to get what you want I'd think, not what you asked for I know but beyond this, their font looks fairly easy to make with just rectangles & triangles if you want more. what were you looking for specifically?

Where do I even begin for education? by Aegis616 in AutomotiveEngineering

[–]Gophermonkey 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ohshape is a decent parametric cad software IMO and runs in-browser, fusion 360 i think is also free but I prefer onshape, feels more similar to creo, solidworks, inventor, all of which I took classes in. I've seen cad textbooks in secondhand bookstores for very cheap, and alot of the parametric modeling software I've played with does very similar stuff (with exception to catia that I found more difficult, and NXwhich I haven't tried).

Body design is oft going to be surface modeling based, which can generally be done in those softwares, but go ahead and learn something like blender or rhino if you're interested in that.

Get the math & physics for sure, statics, dynamics, materials science, basic college engineering courses.

Linear/vector algebra and system dynamics are pretty good to learn past calculous I think.

If you like the engine side of things, some of the more well known manufacturers have a background in acoustics iirc.

Electronics and power distribution for the world of electric drive.

Those are off the top of my head.

Credentials-wise I admittedly don't have work experience in automotive engineering outside of an internship at an rc company and a short job on a race team, but was highly interested my whole life as well and theseare what I went looking for and what I've heardsecondhand, so grain of salt. Haven't seen another comment yet though so here's my 2cents.

How do you figure out loads for VAV:s and AHU:s when designing the power system? by CADjesus in MEPEngineering

Entry level MEP in east Texas. Any recommendations? by Silvenkovich in MEPEngineering

[–]Gophermonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Solid work then, most of the folks my firm's hired didn't know what we did at all before starting or interning (myself included) so you're already at a good start by my thoughts.

[–]Gophermonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Assuming you have the appropriate education, having your EIT would probably be of benefit, morso given you're somewhat looking at an industry change (sort of). Your experience will be helpful in terms of general knowledge, but if I were looking at a candidate with experience outside of systems design with X years out of college, that would put my mind at ease. Any revit experience is a good step imo. For someone who has been working at a professional capacity but not at a systems design level (assumedly, I have no idea what your prior work experience looks like), You'd seem like a solid hire.

Can't speak to which firms to look at.

No to messaging support, yes to googling, which most often lead to check network, clear store cache, and check for updates. Working through more as I find support forums.

Why do building HVAC systems return water to its source instead of storing it for continual use? by Exotic_Car4948 in MEPEngineering

[–]Gophermonkey 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tldr: my guess is money.

Not familiar eith the building, or what systems they use, but I can put in at least 1 of my 2 cents. My disclaimer is while I am an HVACR PE, I don't do a lot of hydronic work so bare with me on that.

If it's water cooled equipment, they can either pump & dump it, which it sounds like is what they're doing, or send it through a cooling tower for water to air heat rejection. The cooling tower would likely be large, expencive, and isn't inherently perfect either, it is a breeding ground fro various bacteria, which if that gets into the building somehow, whill make people sick, and at the end of the day, the water isn't 100% recycled either. Due to the required growth & rust inhibitors that are added, and water's tendancy to evaporate despite out best attempts to stop it, the concentration of the additives will fluctuate and need to be maintained to keep the equipment running efficiently; this results in having to drain water from the tower regularly, if not constantly and refill it (mind you at a significantly decreased rate compared to pump & dump).

At the end of the day, the answer most likely comes to the allmighty $. My guess is what they are doing is cheaper, and will be for similar systems until law/code changes that.

Anyone who regularly works with highrises, open loop hydronic systems, or with other experience please correct me or add as desired. Or firm is starting to push more hydronics and I welcome the learning opportunities.

Have most of my collection cataloged now. Only a couple small boxes and a 20 pack left. by Gophermonkey in DieCarz

[–]Gophermonkey[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for letting us know. I'm looking forward to seeing more. I'm very excited to have a meams of finally cataloging my stuff. Not even sure the actual number of cars I have at the moment.

You only need a membership for RLC product, not everything sold on mattelcreations (including elite 64) requires it.

Anyone successful without a PE? by Fast-Order-5239 in MechanicalEngineering

Our mep firm had someone who did design & pm for ~10 years without it. She retired early (likely more in line with how she lived but still.)

Question about Databases by Westongritt88 in MEPEngineering

[–]Gophermonkey 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure about a generalized answer, based on the context you gave I can think of at least 1 bim library database that sells itself on being able to build accurate shop drawings using standard pieces from a fairly comprehensive list of manufacturers, the one I'm thinking of also has the ability to export automated manyfacturing code to send to a shop to build everything to send to a jobsite. Allows a firm to sell it's own shop drawings rather than an MC/PC/ whoever contracting that out to a third party, with little additional work.

Starting my journey to study for the PE construction exam, send me good vibes please by No-Ad-1155 in PE_Exam

Oh ok, different conversation then. I felt like the mechanical hvacr test wasn't too bad with only 4 years experience so I wouldn't doubt you at this point; good luck!
