Very impressive! I've just started a degree in motorsport engineering so only started playing around with cad but that's stonkingly detailed
Where are you doing your degree? Im just finishing a Motorsports Engineering degree.

Looks ace! I use Solidworks daily so fair play!
Have you tried turning it off and on again?

It's possible in the future that TMF might have a use for such a thing. Would you be willing to share it once it's completed?

I don't know what is going to happen to the work, I've had some interest from people looking to buy them. I'm a bit stuck with completing them at the moment to be honest because I've got to rebuild the engine soon and between now and then I've got exams. But if you have a use for them in the future I'd love to listen.

Well done......I have used Pro/Engineer/Creo 3D CAD for the last 20 years in mechanical product design......you have 'reverse engineered' the A-series very well !

Actually thats reminded me I have a CAD file for 90% of a mini, most components are present
now where did that file go... aha

Creo! We are being transitioned into using that. Its horrible and takes 3 times as long as Solidworks to do anything!

I think I tried to pester you for those models a while ago.

I'm currently out on placement from an automotive engineering degree and have been using NX daily, used to use solid edge at uni, and I can appreciate how much time you must have spent on this! How detailed are you going with the modelling? Are you doing things like washers, shims, nut, bolts etc, as if you are it could be a very powerful tool for teaching about dismantling/rebuilding the a series - good work

For my BEng I had to use Solidworks to draw "more than x5 3D parts" and assemble them.
In comparison to your engine it looks a bit rubbish now.
More importantly I now use AutoCAD every day so it gave me a living even if its not in Automotive Engineering. If you can produce models like that you will have no trouble finding work after your Degree. Good luck.
