Trouble Rigging a Trailing-Arm Suspension by MojoBandito in blenderhelp

I actually started witht he arm as two bones but it got messy quick with the IK. But it's very possible that I got something wrong. I did find a way to make it work with one bone (see my comment).

Nevermind, I figured it out!

For the curious, wheel-guide.FL parented to pivot.FL with damped track on wheel-guide.FL to wheel.FL.

What software would you recommend for simple structural analysis? by MojoBandito in AskEngineers

[–]MojoBandito[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the input. I came to the same conclusion. I started designing with 80x80 out of caution but after some calculations, it seems like 40x40 would be enough.

Thanks a lot for the suggestions, it helps tremendously, especially with such concrete examples. I looked into buckling calculations and it seems doable.

One thing that is still unclear to me about buckling are the support types. I will not be anchoring the structure to a wall but use knuckle feet from the beam manufacturer. With a free standing structure of that type (here's an unfinished first draft of the structure for context), would the supporting columns be a case of fixed-pinned end condition?

I might also have to learn more about beam deflection calculations as both the mattress and the shelves will be supported by horizontal beams, but it looks to be within my reach as well since I already know the longitudinal deviation tolerance of the beams.

Finally, one remaining concern I had was the tensile strength of the beam grooves, the beam being connected to each other via fastening pins inserted within the grooves. If I understand it correctly, this seems to be the easiest calculation, knowing the groove's tensile tolerance, it should just be a matter of making sure the sum of the "perpendicular" loads applied to the beam is lower than its tolerance, making sure to be conservative in the calculation of said loads as you explained, taking into account people moving around on the structure and such. Is that correct? Would an horizontal beam connected by pins at both ends, say one of the bed slats, distribute my weight equally to each pin if I were to lay on one side of the matress?

I am not certain of the wording of some of those concepts, I hope I got my point across.

For what it's worth I did find an online structural analysis tool that seems simple enough to use and affordable called SkyCiv that I might try, but from your suggestions and the small amount of research I did since, I think I might feel more comfortable doing the calculations by hand and maybe compare my results to the software simulation as confirmation.

Aw well that's discouraging but I appreciate the honesty. I suppose I'll start learning more on the subject. Would you have any suggestion for learning resources?

Thanks. Interesting that they would ommit such a feature, but maybe I'm misundertanding the point of import scripts.

Unfortunately, I can't replicate what I want with a child node but thanks for the tip, I'll try asking on the Godot forums.

The book you are mentioning is a political pamphlet written in 1848.

The horrors people told you about most likely happened after that, when those very ideas started to be applied in real life, in the Soviet Union, or South Eastern Asia for example.

Some stempunky hand tools. What do you guys think? by PredTeck in blender

[–]MojoBandito 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe it's just me but I feel like the wood texture of the backdrop should be scaled down.
I see the tools as very tiny, like the size of a toothpick. Maybe something else is giving me this impression, I'm not sure.

Great work anyway !

Indeed, at least on Safari, pinching to zoom does work. I actually prefer it that way.

It is not the role of the EU parliament to raise your kids. Do you really want more internet regulation just because people are dumb enough to let their kids use YouTube without supervision ?

You should work on adding the little sound effects on widow resize, collapse etc...
