Program To Design...

[NewRideXTR]

Does anyone know of a program where u can add performance parts, to get a feel of what your car is going to be like. I'd prefer it not to be that complicated... Thankz

I meet a car designer that told me about a program caled "Rhino." It not only does CAD type design, but it can simulate how parts will do under any condition. This is a complex program that a limited number of people know how to use. He claims the program is so good that you could skip the concept car stage and go straight into production. Rhino tests for stress under cold conditons, hot conditions, and all the weather considitons you can think of.

My guess is their nothing on the market for the consumer to use to simulate how various parts will act once installed onto a vehicle. Basically you are just going to have to trust word of mouth (other car owners, mechanics, and so on) and the manufactures tell you that parts will do to your car.

i think that's a custom program ur talkin about....could always pay someone to make it for u

but there's a program called proEngineer with a plug-in called pro Mechanica that lets you design stuff and then test different stresses on it to see how it would preform in the real world...not sure if that helps

rhino 3d is a 3d nurbs/ploygon program that you can use to make 3d models then you can animate it to simulate what you want it to do... there is dyno software that you can put in some numbers and get a few curves...
