A blast from the past

It's been a long time since something fresh was posted, sorry about that. I moved across the world so was a bit occupied, otherwise.

I was going through some of my previous designs and felt like sharing this. So this is just a basic exploded view of the Tyre, Brake calliper, Brake Disc and the Alloy wheel. But the alloy wheel is entirely my creation, so that's new..

Anyways have a look at it and I'll soon post some new stuff.

Here is a Teaser of Next design project. Can you guess it?

Once upon a time in a galaxy far away....

Hey fellas,

Just tried out my hand on the glorious and amazing light sabers. Yes, I'm talking about the big glowing sword like weapons used my the mighty Jedi and Sith (users of the Dark side of the Force) alike.

George Lucas brought these magnificent weapons to life through animation and in his honour I created a CAD design of the Blue Saber. Have a look. Hope to make many more types of sabers.

Explicit Dynamics -ANSYS- Impact Attenuator Crash Simulation

Its been quite some time since my last post. But nevertheless, I have got something amazing to share in this post.
I have recently been working on my final year engineering project which involves designing an Impact Attenuator for passenger vehicles. As it is my final year project worth 6 credits, the work needed to be convincing.
So, I got to know about ANSYS analysis software for obtaining worthwhile results for my project and thus began the most arduous month of my life with 3-4 hours of calculations running on the PC, frequent hair pulling and consumption of head ache pills.

But finally, after 28 days of torture got the desired result.

So here, I have shared some pics of the analysis and a link to the video on youtube. Enjoy!

P.S. Leave a comment for any queries.
