Thread: Have a look at the LR08 Frame

    Thanks for that. I have been using GSD and the Join/trim function for profiling the ends of the tubes, but it won't let me close the chassis. For example if I want to join the seatbelt bar to the roll hoop, you can only profile one end, as the seatbelt bar becomes part of the rollhoop on the first operation. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

    Hi Chris,

    i knew this problem from our LR06. We designed the frame in one Part as well. At that time we solved the problem by duplicating every tube several times and using only these doubles in the Boolean operations. Today i would suggest to use paste special with result as link instead of paste. In 2006 it took us several hours to change a wall thnickness.

    I hope it helps.

    We've used Solidworks this year for the chassis, which has a nice tube joining function in the weldments section. Given that Dassault Systems bought Solidworks, its odd that they've not included it, maybe its included in the higher level versions.

    Thanks for the help. When is the first run of the car scheduled? Were hoping to get our car running in the next few weeks.

    Hey Chris,
    we plan to have it rolling on the beginning of April. Depends mainly on the last stage of the frame building as we are waiting for our butt straps at the moment.

    Where is your team from? (England, yes, but where in England?)

    Hey folks,
    we have new pictures online. The engine was placed inside the frame and we have also made some pictures of our wishbone jig.

    Again some new pictures since we began to assemble the LR08: www.lionsracing.de/photos

    @RacingManiac: Yes, it helps a lot and as you can see on the pictures, they usually fit well. We are very happy to have a sponsor doing this for us.
