Re: 42048 - Race Kart - Stephen - 2016-01-11

There seems to be something wrong with the seat - the white beam and tan axles under the seat are clashing with the grey beams. Looks like it might just be the tilt angle of the seat.

Re: 42048 - Race Kart - Philippe Hurbain - 2016-01-11

Indeed, the seat was too tilted... Corrected!

Philippe: how do you model these so fast?

Re: 42052 - Heavy Lift Helicopter - Philippe Hurbain - 2016-02-17

The key to productivity is custom set parts bin, generated with Trevor's version of Brickutils. Much faster than browsing through a gazillion of parts, wondering for exact color and so on. I use several bins panes, all pointing to the set inventory bins but with different filter keys ("beam", "pin", "axle" etc...). The magical part snapping of LDCad does the rest...

Interesting. I am still learning LDCad, but this sounds good!
Must try that out some day...

Nice work! Must've cost a lot of time.

I'll add it to the omr site when it's up again  Wink

Well, not sooo long. Lots of parts, yes, but structure is relatively simple (few time consuming weird angles / flex parts)

RE: 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Michael Klein - 2016-09-11

Very nice.

I try to import this into Blender but the LDR-importer doesn't support MPD. I tried a method to export this again with MLCad but it will merge the new parts into one model with a black material.

Question: is it possible to convert a MPD into a LDR what the Blender script can import without errors?

RE: 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Michael Klein - 2016-09-11

OK, I found MPDCenter and it exported a straight LDR file I am importing now.

Thanks :-)

I still had issues with the data because the LDR-importer will not support MPD. The LDR conversations worked but the import will merge the new added Porsche parts. The modeled decorations had wrong colors (red instead of two types of grey). And the fact that all decorations in LDRAW are modeled will cause shading issues with triangles.

But overall it's a great result.

Hi Philippe
Just import the mpd file in my new MOC. There is a small mistake with the taillights. The turn signals should be outward.

Regards Johann

Hi Johann,
Now corrected... beeing "directionally challenged", I am prone to this kind of bugs. Wink
Thanks for reporting!

Hi there... 

first let me say... this is a great model!!! And thanx for sharing it because this makes my goal to create a finite element simulation in order to simulate this kind of event a lot easier. (an example of how such a simulation could look like with a way smaller model can be seen here) We are not sure jet, whether a simulation of the whole 42056 set will work since it is a really complex model but at least we will try. 

While working with your "42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS" we came across a small error in your model. The brick '64782' in the front section of bodyframe.ldr seems to be positioned upside down. 

   

This can be seen in step 311 in the manual on page 231.

Actually the model still works with this brick upside down, so it doesn't really matter. However I thought I should mention it.

regards
 Marko

Hi Marko

Thanks for the error report.
I Have corrected the file in the OMR.
You can download the new file here.

Regards Johann

RE: 42056 - Porsche 911 GT3 RS - Philippe Hurbain - 2019-01-03

Thanks for reporting Marko! Johann was faster, but I also corrected my file on Brickshelf.
Looks like a very interesting project, with convincing results on the small car model!

Hi Philippe...

now that we have almost the whole model meshed and ready for simulation, I found another small error... Smile
On the left side where the seat is connected to the bodyframe there is a collison:

   

This is because a few parts should probably moved a bit to the front.

Here the state before correcting it:

   

and here after:

   

as far as I could see this is only on the left side of the car below the driver seat.
I would send you my corrected version, however because of how I use it in the simulation it has been hugely changed, so it would break the current structure in your file.

regards
 Marko

hey there... it has been a while but I thought I should report back here now that the results of our "small" simulation project are out  Big Grin

Here you can find some videos: https://ct.de/crash
And here the complete article: https://www.heise.de/ct/artikel/Virtuelle-Crash-Tests-vs-Realitaet-4537843.html
They also put a small Trailer on YouTube: [size=small][size=small][font=Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif]https://youtu.be/JJezNuV-ZK0[/size][/font][/size]
(it's all in German thought... sorry for that you might use google translate to get a english version)

If you are interested in more details you can read our paper on the topic.


And I guess all the other Videos will follow during the next days....

At this point I want to express my greatest thanks to the LDRAW community for porviding all the geometric data for the bricks and especially to Philippe for putting together the Porsche and Bugatti (and all the other) models. This is just awesome!

So... enjoy the animations  Smile

actually it still is... I'm still trying to figure out some details of the simulations and to validate it with the physical tests  Smile

the guys from c't will release the footage of the physical tests in about 2 weeks ... 

in the meantime they put up the VR video https://youtu.be/kESbTFekP-A

There's a small mistake in your model. The front left wheel is 2 LDU too far inwards. File is too large to post here, so here are the differences:

RE: Technic 2016 - Rene Rechthaler - 2023-10-14

and when you are at it, the rim center tile is now officially with the print (98138pt0.dat).

just cosmetically: why are the wheelhubs (and rims) at the front and rear axle differently orientated? (triangle pointing up/down)

RE: Technic 2016 - Philippe Hurbain - 2023-10-18

Thanks for the heads up guys...
Unfortunately I don't seem to be able to update the file on Brickshelf at the moment, so here it is attached.
