Yup, Solidworks keeps improving every release, but it can still be buggy. I can't get the apex seals to follow the housing using the 'cam mate' for example.

More fun with keg this time.

How accurate would you say your front suspension measurements are?

The keg looks good too!

^Good question. The answer is damn accurate. These are engineering models - not cartoons. Every feature that I could use a mic on was measured to within +/- 0.010. Others I used a ruler/scale and are much less accurate, maybe +/- 1/16". The whole point is to use the model for determining suspension geometry on my racecar.

However, I still cant get a proper camber curve plot using Solidworks motion analysis. What are you interested in knowing?
