Drawings and Modeling Screenshots
Below is a list of the drawings and screenshots of the CAD models generated with Solid Edge. Click the drawing name to view it.
- Design Concept 1: Slanted Housing - Design concept where boards were set at an angle in order to achieve the reduced head height.
- Design Concept 2: Slanted Module - Slanted design concept incorporating modular design with one pair of boards in each module.
- Design Concept 3: Motherboard - Design concept incorporating a motherboard that replaced one on the cards from each pair. This allowed for much more generous spacing between boards.
- Design Concept 4: Back to Back - Design concept placing each pair of boards on the same plane and butted together.
- Design Concept 5: Two Stacks - Initial design concept later changed to 3 Stacks since all overhead cable strain was removed, allowing for much more head height.
- Final Design Choice: View 1 - Overall housing view from front. Note: each panel is secured to the main housing with 4-40 socket head cap screws and secured to the bulkhead of the vehicle with 8-32 socket head cap screws.
- Final Design Choice: View 2 - View from front with front panel removed. Notice the card-locs utilized to secure the boards to the housing
- Final Design Choice: View 3 - View from rear of housing with back panel removed to demonstrate ease of access to flex cable connections.
- Final Design Choice: View 4 - View of main housing piece. Note the slots where card-locs will be utilized to secure each board to the housing
- Final Design Choice: View 5 - View from rear of housing showing simulated flex cable connecting the two housing halves. (The back panel has been set to transparent to aid visibility)
