Need input on a 13b (rx7) CAD/Animation video
Hi all,
Hows it going? I CADed and animated a 13b engine for an engineering class project, but I feel that it still needs more work to be "perfect." Some details (most noticeably spark plugs firing in the wrong order) are off, but I'm not good enough to catch all of them.... Any engineering/artistic input would be greatly... GREATLY appreciated.
The class is over and I already got my grade, but I spent so much time and energy on this project that I feel that leaving it as it is would be a waste.

Thank you!

That was great. The assembly was backwards to how you stack one, but who cares. If you didn't get an A on this your professor sucks. I'd love to have something like that for an add for my shop.
Nice work.
Nice work.

Hahaha waaaaaaaay too much time, actually. We actually dimensioned everything off a 13b that had been run without any oil (may it rest in peace(s) ;p bad pun, sorry) and that took a while too.
All in all, I'd say this project took over 400 total man hours of disassembly, measuring, CADing, and animating.

Out of curiosity, how is the assembly supposed to go? Since we didn't actually reassemble the engine we dimensioned everything off of, we didn't know what the correct order was supposed to be...

Thanks!!! We did get an A in the end, so I'm quite happy. ^^ Berkeley isn't known for going easy on its students lolz.

Reassembly would go:
Front plate and stat gear
Dowel pins and rotor housing
Rotor with side and corner seals
E shaft
Apex seals and springs for front rotor
center plate
dowel pins and rotor housing
Rotor with side and corner seals
Apex seals and springs
Rear plate
Tension bolts
Great work none the less.

Awesome!
That'll give us a good idea of what to work on over the break. Thank you.
