MODS, PLEASE LEAVE THIS THREAD HERE IN THE FI SECTION BECAUSE IT PERTAINS TO THE UNDERBODY DESIGN WE ARE WORKING ON FOR FI CARS.

I'm trying to locate a 3D model of the G35 Coupe body that I can import into SymLab. I have various underbody designs that I want to model on the car in order to determine the amount of downforce we will get from various underbody concepts. SymLab will import the following file formats:

*.brep, *.igs, *.iges, *.obj, *.stl, *.stp and *.step

If anyone has such a model they are willing to share, please PM me.

 

This sounds cool.

 

How detailed does it need to be? I can create one in Strata and export it as an OBJ. Might take me a while to build it, though.

For aerodynamics, it looks like you're going to need a VERY accurate representation of the car.

 

The major features do need to be pretty close. I got a link to 3Dworldclub.com from one of the guys on the My350Z forum. Here is one I think may work.

We still would need to modify this to change the bumper to the KurmaZ bumber, change the rear bumber a bit, and add the underbody components. To be candid, the 3D model construction in SymLab is pretty weak, and it will take a monumental amount of time. So if you can make the changes in Strata, that would be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Would you like to like to help us with this project? If so, please PM me your name and tel. no. and I'll bring you up to speed on where we are at.
