SHOCK FORK design model
SHOCK FORK design model
(OP)
Hi,
I need to design a Suspension Shock Fork (please, see the attached picture).
It doesn't seem to be a easy design, but I count on your advise.
Has somebody designed a similar part in the past?
How should I create this model?
Do you have a model by any chance?
Thanks

To me it seems one would use freeform modelling combined with sheet metal.
I'll give it a try.

Thanks for reply.
Yes, it is a scanned model.
I have no idea about conversion of scan data to a CAD model so far.........

Would the use of the Sheet Metal be possible in this case?
Thanks,

Thanks again for taking the time to reply to my thread.
The area you started with wouldn't create any problem for designing.
The real problem is the area below the welding zone (please see the attached picture).
How would you design this critical area? Can you start a model ( the dimension do not matter) similar to the pictures?

I have to learn how to create this part, I can't sleep until I'll got the lesson..................

The shape of the part is very challenging.
I have never designed something like that so far!
That's the object of my curiosity.
My current job assignments are totally different.

Can you help me understand the swept feature? I'm looking at your example in 10.0.2.6. Swept(17) use the 2 sections and Bridge Curve(15) as the only guide, but Bridge Curve(14) has a direct influence on the shape of Swept(17). Can you explain what's going on or am I just missing something?
Thanks,
John

If you edit the swept and highlight "Section1", you will see that it is made of 6 curve objects; "Section2" is made of two curve objects.
