Something to play with at dinner time.
Something to play with at dinner time.
(OP)
A year or so ago Hudson and I were looking at how to model tyres (tractor at the time). Any how I've had a bash a creating a parametric car tyre (roughly) and though you might like to have a mess around with it.
Any how notice that as you increase the tyre in size, once you get past 500mm dia the width of the tyre changes automatically as does the number of grooves, there is also a subtle change in the length of the grooves (look in the sketch named water tread).
If you have any ideas how it can be improved, then please let me know as I always want to learn.
Have fun

Life shouldn't be measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the number of times when it's taken away...

To an Engineer, the glass is twice as big as it needs to be.

Now if by asymmetric you are refering to the of tread being staggered, then this was intentional

Very like the wheel image that I have on my website. The tyre is done with pattern face for the most part. Sorry but I'm not likely to be sharing that one here unfortunately.
