| Need CAD Drawing Help...SJSU Conctete Canoe Hello all, came across this site doing research on hull designs. I am the Project Manager for San Jose State University's, American Society of Civil Engineers, Concrete Canoe Team (yes it floats) and I am working on a design for this year, but I only have the top view and side view and a pic of how I want it to look. I need someone's help to put this into a nice 3d solid so that i can import it into AutoCAD or ProEngineer. I can do a basic design in 3d but i am looking for more complex curves...any help would be MUCH appreciated... Design Parameters ![]() Finished Design Look in 3d ![]() if you think you can help,and have fun while you're at it, email me at sjsucanoe@hotmail.com and I will give you more info. |

| You have your mind made up about how you want it to look ? It is sexy looking but it may not be the best shape for its' intended purpose. If it is to be a static display model then leave it as it is. If you are going to paddle it, then some more design considerations may need to be addressed. I take it that the end with the sloped stem is the front. If so, that is a radical Swedeform. If it is to go the other direction it is a radical Fishform style. Emphasis on the word; radical |

| yes, it is very radical, this canoe is 19' long and is designed for sprint racing and slolom racing...I have done lots of research on the design and this is modified off of a previous design from last year's competition. All I need is for someone to model it in 3D, so i can give it to the Aerospace guys here and have them do the fluid and stress analysis. This canoe will have thread all bars in the ribs and 250lb pre tension cables runing through it. Remeber this is a 1/2" thick concrete canoe. check out www.concretecanoe.org for more info. |

| Go to www.sname.org, then to local sections and then to Northern California. You should be able to find some local help. |
