Hey first time poster here,
What are the five parts everyone plans on doing? That's what has me stumped
Well I've started my existing design, and I chose a satnav with a shell and seperate glass panel around the screen. This means that I have the case, glass panel, LCD screen, 2 bumper/speaker things, and buttons. I'm also going to try give the mount at least two pieces so this gives me an ample amount of parts. You don't need to make the satnav itself complex though. Try get a hold of a mount or look up pictures. You could easily get 5 parts alone out of the mount with suction cups, screws, and hinges and swivel joints.0 -

I dont even know where to begin to start the feckin yoke!
The Sat Nav I have seems only to be made out of one part cause there's no screws on the side to open it so I can get parts to draw so it looks like I'll have to get the 5 parts out of the mounting bracket which seems like a whure to draw on already!:mad:
I'd appreciate it if more of the people who have done their projects last year would upload there's here and give us an idea cause I haven't a notion what I'm doing..:(
Thanks...0 -

haha....well i would assume to get the text (typed) onto the brief you would type out little bits/paragraphs and then cut them out and stick them onto your A3 pages with your sketches?! seems like the way you would roll if you want to put typed writing in your brief? i dont think ill bother because i can do neat handwriting if i take the time:p HELP with the timeline please??! who on earth made the 1st sat nav...i can find no history at all just give me all the history you got please;) 0

my teacher is gone off having an operation:( but we have a UL graduate:p hes not that great!! but he said anyways that its our "scrapbook" really and we can put things in however we want as long as we have the vital things included of course. so as many sketches as you want in it. i do art aswel so im in the same boat:D but i dont think il waste my energy sketching for the history! erm....look at the pink pages...the outputs say if you NEED sketches on certain pages:)
Thanks, yeah I'll probably end up being lazy about sketches aswell seeing as I'm too lazy to look at the paper in detail!

haha i know, awh well:) i havnt started it at all yet:p grrrr...this history thing is just pissing me off like, any other thing like game controllers or mp3 players there is a HUGE history but like sat navs??...nothing?!:( i looked at old projects in our school, which sat navs are ye going to compare and contrast? oh and i want to know......if we have a whole new CONCEPT must we compare and contrast sat navs? becuase we wouldnt be drawing an existing sat nav on the solidworks, or would we? if you do a concept design do you have to draw an existing sat nav and then in part B design a whole new concept...please help i'm not sure:p 0

Yes you have to do two solidworks models, one in part a and the concept in part. Yes part a is an existing model with 5 or more parts,0 -

Hey guys first post here to be honest, My head is spinning about this project i am a repeat leaving cert this year i have done the project last year on the games console controlers and i still don't have a clue what to do these year, Its a bad choice really i mean the sat nav is a product that isn't very interesting, it doesn't have much part ands its history is a blurr
A few things i did pick up along the way last year about the brief its self though is read it a few time and take it all in before you start
Here some things about the out puts that might help
Out put 1: For the higher level students a time line or the history of the product isn't actually required it says "presentation of existing artefacts in graohic format", you don't need a time line you can have all modern ones in there! But one thing that i heard is don't just use all pictures off the internet use some sketch's even stick a picture in from a magizine show something different!
Out put 2:This is the one i find hardest my self the only advice i have here is find the two sat nav's thats functions and apperance is completely different don't pick two that look the same or you will be stumped for what to right.
Out put 3: This is a straight foward enough part just make sure you shade and colour you sketch this isn't just a sketch it has to be "rendered".
Out put 4: I'm a bit stumped as well on this i couldn't figure out what to do i was going to make 4 parts from the mount and 1 of the sat nav its self but after reading some post's i got some idea's so thanks to all who posted
One thing i will say is if your using buttons or anything like that i wouldn't make a button and call it 1 part and then use another button thats only slightly different and call it another you'll lose marks.
Out put 5: Once you out put 4 is done this is a simple drag and click just play around with the layout try and few views but this is just a 20 minute job really.
Out put 6: This again isn't to hard of and out put once you already have the out put 4 done, just open up your drawing in what ever program your using (most will probably be photo view 360) its very simple drag the colour's click render and wait.
Out put 7: After out put 2 this i think is the hardest but i know for some its simple its all about imagination really any one doing art should be ok at this but i am mechanical and math mind concepts and modification aren't my thing only advice i really know here is throw down a few idea's don't put down 2 and use both put down 4 or 5 and pick the best 3 it shows more effort and more thought
Out put 8: This is basically out put 3 again but this time its either or your concept design or its using the modification you have decieded you'd use.
Out put 9: This out put is alot like out put 4 by now you should have the hang of solid works(or what ever program your using) Just make sure you leave your self enough time for this its the last section but i takes alot of time and carry's alot of mark so try not to run out of time
The only general advice left to say is on the small part like the sketch's and the one page out put's try and get them done and out of the way, you want them to look neat and nice but your going to need your time for the modeling and the concept/modification
Hope this helps sorry its such a long post but i hope its worth reading if any one has any Q's here is my e-mail and please feel free to mail me any advice or idea's as well because i have no idea what to do this year eitherConorcruise@gmail.com 0 -
