Today was a day of frustration. But whatever s#!t happens.Some days just aren't "your days" Let us come to our topic for today i.e. PRO Engineer and/or Solid Works model of Quad Rotor. It's need and what should it accomplish.For those of you who have downloaded the paper with the mathematical model of quad rotor, might have observed that there are some constants that you cannot find through ordinary mathematical or any other simple method. These include mass(you can't find until you have the actual quad rotor body, by then it might be too late to change it), angular mass or moment of inertia and length. Basically the you need the PRO Engineer or Solid Works model to decide which motors you are going to select, which material are you going to use too build the craft and are they compatible with each other or not i.e. the total thrust of the motors should be greater (at least two times) than the weight of the craft. Plus you can't find moment of inertia by any simple method, so a simulation is the only way out. We used PRO Engineer and by changing the material you can find the mass and which one suits. You might want to check out the available propeller sizes before deciding on the length of quad rotor arms and the distance between the motors. I will try to post something about the prop. sizes in the near future. You might also wanna check out the available motors in the market or where ever to intend to buy them from. We bought the motors, the drives and the LIPOS from Hobbyking.
Some of you might have no idea about how to use PRO Engineer or Solid Works. The thing is that it was the same for us. Info. about just the basics of the software and a hard working group member might come in very handy to do the job.
Thats all for today. The paper that i uploaded yesterday didn't attract a lot of interest. Still I am going to upload something today, plus I will give you an intro to what is it all about.
Today I am uploading a project report from Lund university. Project reports are different from research papers in that they cover every aspect of the project. So fro beginners they are a very helpful tool. The author discusses each and every aspect of a quad rotor and the steps taken to reach the final result.
