center to center rod length of the 426 is 102mm,top pin is 19mm, bottom pin is 42mm.
bore is 95mm, stroke is 60.1mm.I don't have a piston handy for the other dimension.
Hi Mace, I sitting here right now also driving Catia V5 - NC Manufacturing Workbench. Had to take a break from it and read some DRN. It really can be frustrating at times. Huge learning curve. :whiner:
Thanks for the data. My model is really pretty elemental. I just wanted to practice and have an illustration for an article I'm writing for our regional rag on basic engine operation.
You guys would laugh at the cylinder head. The valve in my toilet is higher tech. LOL. But the article is written for the complete tyro so that should be ok.
CATIA V5 has some cool features for sure - and a steep learning curve. The model I built has all the primary dimensions input as variables and most of the other relationships set as functions of those variables. The parts are all constrained to each other so you can turn the crank and when you update the rod and piston move to new positions. I don't know how to do real time motion and have no idea if I can do a timing belt.
