3D hull and equipment models from the internet

Fantastic!!

 

This is the kind of stuff we need to share among boat designers.
The sharing of ideas encourages creativity...

I'm getting no answer from http://www.svensons.com/boat/

Your comment fantastic!! Is related to the website or to Baldurs approach or what else?

Cheers

It's loading for me as I type this.

In response to Baldur's offer to post the hull models when he's finished.

 

Update regaridng 3D-CAD interfaces.

As an attachment you find a update regarding 3D-CAD interfaces.

If you have the models in the three formats Parasolid (.x_t), ACIS (.sat) and STEP (.stp) available you can act in most CAD-Systems like native files. With .igs you get normally a hell of problems.

 

Sorry
Here they are in proper format......

Dear Baldur,
fine, as a last step, pack the files altogether in one .zip file and upload to file towards http://www.boatdesign.net/gallery/showgallery.php/cat/3054

Cheers

Bernd,

Your determination and patients will some day reap rewards. The correct format for file sharing is important but many of us have never given it much attention. Thank you for trying to inform us.

 

Engines from MAN

For larger ships you can download 2D drawings and 3D models from MAN by using the following link http://www.manbw.com/article_004544.html .

There is also a special service at their extranet https://extranet.manbw.de

The “3D Engine Viewer“ is a software tool by MAN B&W Diesel to support reliable engine room planning. It provides CAD models in individual configuration. To use this complete service you have to register.

 

outboard cad dxf

Original post by: John Bell (wooden boat forum)

It's been asked here before about where to find CAD files of various outboards. Well, I finally found some on the web at the European Mercury site.

http://www.marinepower.com/download/dosearch

Select "Technical Drawings" then click "launch". There are 14 pages of drawings in PDF and DXF format of just outboards. Note: You have to go to page 5 before you hit the DXF files. Here is a link to the dxf of a 3.3 HP outboard.

There are also drawings of I/O's and other cool motor stuff.

Enjoy!

 

cad person model but keep having trouble with autocad files, i get differnt version conflicts on LT2000 and 14. Stp and Iges now also in max6 is another extension that saves in differnt files. whats compatable etc, anymore explanation?

 

Dear Joop (Yipster),
3D Studio-file are similar to 3d-DXF files The files consists out of a lot of small flat triangel surfaces. So you can't produce out of that file neither an iges (surface, solid), .sat, .x_t or .stp-file. If we export a CAD Model towards 3D-Studio we first convert the solids and surfaces into triangle-surfaces and then save this file as .dxf and import the file into 3D-Studio. Today it is possible to do the conversion into meshes from different file formats inside 3D- Studio. But you never can produce a .sat, .x_t or .stp file out of a 3D-Studio file. These files consist of points, curves, edges, surfaces ( freeform) and solids. In contrast to this, the 3D-Studio file consits only out of meshes. So you can't alter 3DStudio files with CAD-systems or save them as .iges, .sat, .x_t or .stp file only as .dxf or .3ds.
So please publish your models as .dxf and .3ds files. Most CAD-Systems can import these flies. But after doing so you never have the chance to save the hole model as .sat, x_t or .spt only as .dxf. Otherwise the imported 3D-Studio parts will missing.

Best regrads

I have converted the person CAD to a solid model (.x_t )

 

here is the .sat file:

They are not smooth, but they work for dimensioning purposes..

NOTE: You may need to scale to correct size..
