WIP Companion Cube Case

[skylargray]

I'm not sure i just seen Skylar use one for his WIP:NES thought it would be a good idea

Saw this and thought I should give some advice.

I use SolidWorks Simulation. I am a certified SolidWorks professional and have been using it for CAD modeling every day as part of my profession for over 8 years.
It wasn't until the last 2 or 3 years that I have been able to jump into the simulation stuff. It is an order of magnitude more complex than Photoshop in my experience...just as a reference point.
So if you don't already know how to build designs in a parametric modeling package and run various simulations, it would probably take a year or two just to understand what I would consider the basics, let alone full simulations like the ones I performed on my miniNES case.

Then there is the cost. The SW Premium package that you need to run the simulations is $10,000. Other CFD simulation software is similarly priced or higher.
Unless you have access to the software, forget about it.

Seeing that, I think that's a little too expensive for my blood, at least for a little side project like this. Maybe in the future, I will be able to study up on these basics and put them to use. Thanks for the input though! Any little bits and pieces help!

well Skylar could u run it for them i mean eegl plan to hand out the file when done so wont have to wrry about someone taking the plan (just a thought)
