Glad to hear it!!

Great!

Thank You! Yes I agree about defining all the parameters. For me its a fine balance in these videos that always tend to run long so I always hope to get the point across without going a bit too deep. In the hirth joint video i did I just provided the file with the parameters because it would have been too much to walk through:) thanks for watching and commenting!

My pleasure!

Awesome, thank you! and happy to have you!

Sounds fun!

Thanks a lot!

Thank you!

They call it “Unistructure”. I worked there in the 1990s. Great company!

Thanks Brian!

Thanks 🤗

anything specific? I have a hirth joint video kzfaq.info/get/bejne/oM94iKiZz8edhmQ.html but haven't done anything with gears on this channel.

Thanks for the kind words! Certainly check out the Surface Mastery series I have on here. Surface tools in Fusion 360 aren't the best in the biz, but that series talks about making the most out of them. Feel free to send me an email support@caducator.com and we can chat about what you need and see what is possible. I have a site www.LearnEverythingAboutDesign.com where i can do coaching, but I haven't enabled that just yet.

Thank you!

yeah it ca be hectic. For me the key is to keep the sketch simple and use the combine/intersect rather than trying to do something like an extrude with a ton of different selections. Seems to be less intense on the computer.

You're welcome

Thanks! That is a bit trickier. You would have to use a slightly different process and use EMBOSS. The real trick is the math. your emboss sketch will need to be done based on the circumference of the cylinder.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign thanks for making time to anwser,yes,i was thinking something along those lines.the idea is to 3d print an intake manifold able to hold high pressure on a turbo engine

Sometimes its from comments on videos, or through email support@caducator.com. This one was on the discord channel. If you want an invite you can email me.

You can email me at support@caducator.com and ill give you the link. On the titan part, they have videos on how they do it but its not the same way. I assume you mean the 10M part. academy.titansofcnc.com/series/titan-10m/how-to-draw-the-titan-10m

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Yes I am referring to the Titan 10M part. In F360 I try to learn various ways to design a part. I find that helps deepen my F360 knowledge. So I will do a 10M design the Titan Way and a version with your method of creating IsoGrids.

Do you mean completely sealed? Whatever you do for the extrude and intersect with the isogrid body will place it where you want. You could use shell selecting the main body from the browser(no face selection) and that will leave a hollow core. Then you can do the same thing if you have a solid version of that core. Hope that makes sense.

I was thinking an open top hollow box, sides facing out smooth and the inner surfaces backed by such a grid. typing that out another alternative comes to mind.. could a curved surface be iso backed like the flat surface you demonstrated n the vid?

@@ffoeg curved surface can but its a bit tricky because you need the start/end to line up. So if its cylindrical and you know the circumference you can plan the iso grid that way. If its conical then it gets tricky to keep each triangle the same relative size....

​@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign yeah that looks tricky. thanks for following up.

@@ffoeg Thinking about this a little more, one big shift here is that in order to emboss/wrap you would need the entire isogrid in a sketch. When i can I will try to make an update.

What tool are you using for CFD? If you are designing in Fusion and exporting to Ansys, I would say to use freeform modeling over surfacing. It will be much easier to update/change and the surface quality is a bit better than with the surface tools. I have a few car modeling series on this channel and tons of forms content. If you are using a different CAD program I would have to know that as each have various tools. Inventor has forms modeling but slightly different than Fusion even though they are both built on Tsplines. Solidworks doesn't have a native freeform option in the desktop application, but Power Surfacing add-on is really good. Solid Edge has subD but its meh... and on and on.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign Thanks for the quick response I will be using fusion with either ultimate cfd or simscale. Another question if I want to du structural analysis on the frame aswell can I change the form to a solid body ? Or ad surfaces to the inside as structure? Thanks again

@@littlescoutfpv9776 yeah when making form bodies, if they are open, when converted they will be surfaces. To turn those into solids you can either thicken them, or use other surface tools to fill in holes. With a "closed" form, that will get converted to a solid by default. When doing CFD you will likely want a version with filled in areas. Also with a form body its direct editing, but you can copy/paste a form body as a starting point. So if you want to make design changes you can easily copy/paste and work on them side by side.

@@littlescoutfpv9776 if you want to do structural analyses of a carbon fiber part you will have to design the whole layup of the carbon fiber composite. fusion can't do this

I have been playing with this as a possible followup video. The problem here is that the isogrid is defined by the angle of the triangle not the width(circumference) of the object to apply it to. So when you start to try and wrap in the confines of a non-planar part it gets tricky. The next problem is that for emboss you would need to select the sketch profiles to apply, which means a parameter update isn't going to work like it did on the flat/planar part. I will do an update video in the near future showing how to do this on a cylindrical part, but know that it will not be as robust as this method.

@@LearnEverythingAboutDesign that's a very good point. I'm glad your looking into this, and I look forward to your follow up video!
