New flex and design tool!

Post by mikic1 »

Hi guys,

Iv been working on this for a while and it seems to work fine now, let me know if you find problems that I should fix.

It is made as a browser tool so it works on all platforms.

You can simulate flex, weight, deflection and setup a lot of options.

Do we have to purchase a license key? I'm interested to compare outputs against my design spreadsheet.

That's great. I've always wondered how correct my design spreadsheet was, hell I'm happy I was even in the correct order of magnitude let alone near the same results as you.

The only thing that I would recommend adding are some baselines for soft, medium, and stiff skis on your plots. That will give the user some useful information rather than just raw numbers.

yeah, and what are the axis' +-45 and 0?
Is it sold by the meter? Looks like I can only get 1.
Will you ship to usa?
I thought you were dropping this buis.

calculation options for asymmetric layups would be cool, but that makes the whole thing a lot more complicated...

nice work so far! I haven't crosschecked with my own tool however...

Yeah, I'm implementing the first few changes to give more freedom and to give an idea about the feel of the flex (soft to hard).

As for the carbon, it is 150gms in each direction, it is from Formax.

I dont have any good ways to ship to US from Europe, its so damn expensive.

License key invalid.

If you're interested in open sourcing this stuff, integrating it with MonkeyCAM (https://github.com/mikemag/MonkeyCAM) would be trivial, and we could spit out the results right along with the G-Code programs and shape overviews based on a full, accurate core profile :) We could also place the foot loads over the stance options (for snowboards anyway) automatically.

If you're interested but don't know Git or C++ lemme know and I can help out. Seems like you have the HTML part of it dialed!

Should be valid now...

I really have not had time to look into the MonkeyCAM, Im sure integration is great idea on the long term. Atm I dont have too much time, perhaps in the future.

I payed a freelancer to program it for me, from frelancer.com...
