Re: SVX Diagrams
Mmmm, FEM is fun! Threw a quick model of a tubular subframe together and applied some forces. What would be a realistic lateral force through the wheels during a corner? I've got it set to total overkill right now, 1000 lbs though each outside lateral link and 500 lbs through each inside one. I don't think the rear wheels are capable of generating 3000 lbs of cornering force. But hey, factor of safety, right?
![]() This is with 70X deflection. ![]() I've got an updated model of the car, I'll post it tonight once I'm home and can take a new screenshot.

Re: SVX Diagrams
I have the basic model done at this point, I'm just fleshing in the details. Panel gaps (and adding radiused edges in those gaps so it looks solid rather than just a simple surface model - notice the hood/fender gap vs the door), smaller parts like the mirrors and door handles, and then start applying some material and colours.

Re: SVX Diagrams
Are those going to be Cad adaptable? Im actually looking for cad blueprints for replacement body panels.. shop is going to build from scratch.

Re: SVX Diagrams
They definitely would be, I'm using Catia (one of the main aerospace CAD programs) to make these models. However, I wouldn't recommend using these as a basis for panel fabrication. The way I'm making the model is by extracting the guide curves from the diagrams and filling in the surfaces by best guess/what looks right compared to a real car. It's basically the equivalent of a freehand sketch. Things might look right but they aren't dimensionally accurate to the real thing.
Now if I had a 3D scanner that would be a different matter... Anyone have $20-30K I can borrow?

Just for fun, a shot of the SVX in my "garage".

Re: SVX Diagrams
lol. That was actually one of my motivations for designing it - now that my car is lowered my suspension geometry is all out of whack.
