Week 8

Goal of week 8: Continue construction on physical model and work on structural analysis

Group Members Jobs:

      - Renee Pisano            -Worked on physical model

      - Cody Johnson           -Worked in Autodesk Inventor on structural analysis

      - Paulina Iniewicz       - Worked on physical model

      - Carly Alessandro      - Worked in Autodesk Inventor on structural analysis

Challenges: 

     The major challenge of this week was recreating our computer rendering into another software. Last week we realized that Visual Analysis would not work well with our model, and we switched to Autodesk Inventor. We couldn't easily import our CAD model into inventor, so we just created a simplified model in Inventor.

Outcomes of This Week: 

    Paulina and Renee went to the machine shop to cut the larger pieces of the model. Carly and Cody built a simplified model of the CN Tower in Autodesk Inventor and started to investigate how gravity, wind, and other daily loads affect the Tower using an analysis program in Inventor. We also started to draft our Final Report using the comments on our 70% report to help with modifications.
