Was curious if anyone had ever made any CAD models of a 914 (specifically in Solidworks or Catia?). Any cad models related to a 914 would be helpful.
Cheers, Blake |

Hello,
Did you get around scanning any parts? I'd like to model a 914 long travel suspension for my project so I need to model control arms and struts. |

Hello, Did you get around scanning any parts? I'd like to model a 914 long travel suspension for my project so I need to model control arms and struts. If you are going to modify suspension, you will be better off working out the kinematics based on the available package space, the tire size and offset you want to use, and your desired suspension geometry rather than starting with the compromise of existing parts. If you're serious about this project, I highly recommend you read Engineer to Win, and Tune to Win from Carroll Smith 1st. Design work can be as basic as cardboard cutouts and pushpins (cut out to some reasonable scaling factor) or you could go out and buy licensed copies of Adams and CATIA for about $250K. AutoCAD (Autodesk) Inventor also has some nice kinematics modeling last time I used it (around 2016). If you are a student, look into student version software. https://www.mscsoftware.com/formula-student |
