CyDesign Labs Passenger Car Components Challenge

Medium

CyDesign challenges you to create CAD models of a passenger car.

CyDesign Labs is building a detailed physics based modeling and simulation environment and seeks
great looking components to populate a library of components to use in this simulated environment.
CyDesign Labs is in need of CAD surface models of different components that would be part of a car.
The challenge is that the final designs must not replicate existing, trademark and copyright protected
components, and must be an entire set of components.

Given a list of basic automobile components, a set of basic images and basic specs (see below), can you
produce a set of surface models that are rendered into small, 3D CAD visual files? If so, cash is in your
skills.

Requirements

Submitted entries for each set must include models of each components listed in that specific set; entries which do not have the requested 3D CAD visuals and models for each component of the set will not be considered.

Each set has five different models to be provided. Four sets have the same type (wheels/tires, engines, transmissions, brakes, suspensions); one set has multiple types (set 5).
The following car components must be modeled and rendered:
SET 1
Wheel and Tire Combinations (one model and visual rendering of each, 5 total as a set)
• High Performance Racing Tire with Aluminum Wheel - 245/40 16 tire size
• High Performance, Studded Racing Tire with Steel Wheel - 17 in, steel wheel, P245/65R17 tire size.
• Wagon Wheel with metal rim - R17 “wheel/tire size”.
• Common Passenger Tire/Wheel - 17-in. 5-spoke alloy wheels with P215/45R17 tire size.
• Common Bicycle Tire/Wheel - ISO 559 mm, 26x1.0 in to 26x2.5 in, found on most modern mountain bikes.
SET 2

Each component in the set should be rendered into an individual 3D Graphic image size of approximately 256 pixels by 256 pixels size; submitted file sizes much larger will not be considered.
Each component model can be done in any CAD software, but entries must be submitted as a STEP, .obj, and .png file type for each component in the set. Entries without each file type for each component in the set will not be considered.
The 3D CAD models for each component in each set should have:
• Only external surfaces modeled and rendered; no internal surfaces/components needed/required.
• Mono-chromatic coloring with minimal shading required; do not need complex, multi-light source shading.
• One axis of rotation.
• Uploading CAD files of rendered models without permission to your GrabCAD profile is not allowed.
• The submissions will be judged on realism, creativity and composition.
• Each component in the set that is visualized must not replicate existing or previously produced, recognizable, components which are trademark and/or copyright protected by their respective owners.

Rules

The competition is open to everyone; public entries only.
One engineer can submit several entries, but no more than one will win a prize.
Tag your rendered set with “Car Component Challenge” when uploading it to GrabCAD to make it easier to find.
Each component in the set should be rendered into an individual 3D Graphic image size of approximately 256 k pixels by 256 k pixels size; submitted file sizes much larger will not be considered.
Each component model can be done in any CAD software, but entries must be submitted as a STEP, .obj, and .png file type for each component in the set. Entries without each file type for each component in the set will not be considered.
Only models uploaded to GrabCAD library will participate in the competition.
Only models uploaded through this challenge page here will participate in the competition.
The competition ends 10/29/12.

it is supposed to be "256 x 256 pixels". the "k" is not supposed to be there and will be removed.

David Hinz 7 months ago

marcos,
we are asking for submittals by set. so, a person can just model one particular set (ex: the wheel/tires) and submitted the set (5 models) for the challenge.
a person (or team) could also decide to model multiple sets and thus compete for multiple parts of the challenge.
remember, though, each set is comprised of 5 models each.
hope that helps.

once again: how many mounting holes for the wheels and the disc brake? there is no support for this challenge and the requirements aren't clear enough!

Romano Gaspari has uploaded 2 CAD models & has left 129 comments.
David Hinz 7 months ago

Romano: Please use 5 hole designs for the wheels; high performance tire should have some tread; no slicks, as those will not work in environments where the road suface is not super smooth.

All,
Please note, the visual size is 256 x 256 pixels; the requirement of 256 k x 256 k is wrong and will be changed ASAP.

Hi Romano, You bet, the same 5 holes for the disc brake components as well would be great. Thanks for asking specific questions and participating in our challenge.

Marcos, apologize for the delayed response, but wow, nice wagon wheel!

Yes, each of the 4 sets has a crazy component (wagon wheel, lawn mower engine, mountain bike disc brake, bulldozer transmission).

Variety is key for our component library, so having a crazy component helps to illuminate that capability of our product.

Marko Lukac - nice set of rims, but remember, the set to be created as a valid submittal needs to all of the items listed, and the wheels should include tires:

SET 1
Wheel and Tire Combinations (one model and visual rendering of each, 5 total as a set)
• High Performance Racing Tire with Aluminum Wheel - 245/40 16 tire size
• High Performance, Studded Racing Tire with Steel Wheel - 17 in, steel wheel, P245/65R17 tire size.
• Wagon Wheel with metal rim - R17 “wheel/tire size”.
• Common Passenger Tire/Wheel - 17-in. 5-spoke alloy wheels with P215/45R17 tire size.

Feedback and questions addressed:
Tomas - like the direction you are going for the SET 1 entry - all the wheels/tire combo's across the different formats.
Santoo- Team entries are welcome. In case of team win, prize money will be transferred to team leader who is solely responsible for splitting it among team members.

David Hinz has uploaded 2 CAD models & has left 97 comments.
David Hinz 7 months ago

Tomas,
To your question on wagon wheels, we prefer wood wheels with metal rims, similar to your first link. For vehicle modeling purposes, it allows our mechanical engineers the ability to construct a complex model of a wood structure with a metal rim, vs. an all metal design.

David Hinz has uploaded 2 CAD models & has left 97 comments.

Om Prakash Yadav
A disc brake with rotor would be great. see http://www.expertcarcare.com/maintenance-guide/brake-system. some folks only have the actual pads, which are useful as well. we will be looking at the entire set as well as individual parts.

Size of vehicle?
850kg to 960kg would be a typical weight.

@Christian Padilla you had no projects before competition and no grabcad community activities... why something is telling me you'll be the winner?

@RomanoGaspari Haha, thanks for the vote of confidence, I appreciate it! I just heard of grab cad a few weeks ago and I loved the concept. I hope to participate in a good number of activities in the future, but everyone has to start somewhere right? Either way, there a few other good entries, I'm just going to keep my fingers crossed.

Congrats Tomas, but I thought you could only win once. Rule #2: "One engineer can submit several entries, but no more than one will win a prizev"

I just deleted My entry because I saw that the Jury choose the winner in a good way, but They ignored some rules (although They make those rules). Congratulations and good luck to all winner. For GrabCAD and Someone (or company or organization) which running a future challenge in GrabCAD, hopefully They respect to all the entries with respecting the rules. Good Luck everyone !!!

@Garrett and to all participants. We just noticed this and we'll get some more clarification from CyDesigns. Obviously we should follow all rules and requirements - fairness first. Please be patient and send me a private message if you have any concerns or questions. I will be sure have your feedback heard by all.

Thank you to our community! You pointed out a mistake in the results and we have corrected our error. We apologize, a winner can take home only one prize in any challenge. For that reason @Tomas will no longer be the 2nd place winner of Set 3. We talked it over with him and apologized. There is a silver lining in this mistake. Now, we have a new winner to celebrate! Please congratulate @Garret Taylor for getting the second prize on Set 3. Thank you again for letting us know and for being patient while we straightened things out.
