Piston CAD Model

In this tutorial, we will step through the meshing of the piston assembly shown in the following image. We will also create joints to connect the parts and to provide pivot points for the crank (yellow part). The model will be used in the Piston Mechanical Event Simulation tutorial.  

 

Features Illustrated:

• Opening a universal CAD file
• Solid meshing
• Creating joints
