Weldments for Buggy and Frame
SolidWorks Weldments are a great tool for creating frames for a buggy, fsae/formula student car frames, robot frames, and support frames. Begin with a sketch and then chose your cross section member or define your cross section member. Add gussets and weld beads to complete the assembly. A cut list is available from the drawing.
The movie shows the methods to create a buggy using weldments. The model file and drawing contains the frame. The steps to create the frame and cut list drawing are availalble from help, solidworks tutorials. Marie
