It is a great up front Simulation tool that now runs right inside of your Inventor environment. Regardless, go over to Autodesk Labs and download Project Falcon for yourself. And, it was just a nice bit of fun over my lunch.
I am sure you could shoot a few holes in my assumptions and theory with this simulation.but, I did it all (and wrote this up) in less than 30 minutes. Turns out, the little guy was fine all along! I was worried for nothing. Once the speed was where I wanted it, I simply pressed the Surface Pressure icon to see what R2D2 was dealing with. I cranked it up to ~572m/s (about 2060k/hr).you know, just to be sure. So, it should be able to go ~1050k/hr (I know, I thought it would be a lot faster than that too). Now, to the problem at hand: how much pressure is little R2 under out there while Luke is out flying around firing off proton torpedoes?įrom my research, the X-Wing has a Class 1 hyperdrive. all on the fly and immediately see the impact on your simulation model. Since Project Falcon runs in near real time, you can rotate the model, adjust settings, etc.
This lets you directly change the settings while Project Falcon is running the simulation. Right from the ribbon toolbar, you can begin to dial in the simulation settings you want.Īfter selecting a setting, an on screen dial appears on the bottom right of the Inventor window. Once you launch the Prjoct Falcon environment, it immediately begins anyalizing your model. Once installed, Project Falcon is easy to access right from the Environments tab on the Inventor ribbon toolbar. I did have to ignore a few facts about physics to do this with Project Falcon 1) space is a vacuum 2) Star Wars isn't real. I wanted to have a goal.so, after thinking about it, I decided to see what kind of pressure was placed on R2D2 while in flight. So, I went on to and grabbed an X-Wing fighter. Since I couldn't find a free model of T.C.'s chopper (Hughes 500D), I decided another model from my youth would have to do. Last time I posted about Project Falcon, I channeled my respect for Thomas Magnum and took a look at the Ferrari 308 GTS. Right on the Project Falcon page on Autodesk Labs, you can find videos, documentation and the software itself. They added a release with a stand alone version for both OSX and Windows.and, now the latest release, with integration directly into Autodesk Inventor 2013. Over time, the Labs team has introduced a few enhancements to Project Falcon. At the time it only worked as a plug in for Autodesk Alias. Some time back, Project Falcon was introduced on Autodesk Labs.
