Test your Inventor skills and join the 'contest'.
# of participants so far: 24 (11 correct solutions).
Feel free to participate - it's just for the fun of it.
You will get points on the scoreboard just for trying.
As some participants wish to make this challenge in the Christmas holidays
the deadline for this month's challenge is extended to December 28th 2002.
The December contest drawing is in Customer Files (CF), Subject:

Setup note: The drawings are metric and in first angle projection.
Follow these simple rules:
1 - Print the 5 drawings and don't look at them.
2 - Setup your environment (metric/first angle projection) and start a new
sketch.
3 - Place the drawings face down, start the clock, flip the drawings over
and model them as fast as possible ending up with an Assembly with the
correct weight as indicated on the Assembly drawing sheet.
4 - Check the weights with the Accuracy setting 'Very High' of the different
models as indicated on the corresponding drawing sheet before making the
final Assembly.
#1 priority: Correct weight of the Assembly with the Physical Properties
Accuracy setting 'Very High'.
#2 priority: Fastest time.
Let me know how fast you can model and assemble it (don't cheat - it's no
satisfaction to be the fastest when you know you've cheated).
Naturally it is allowed to take a break after one hour and stop the clock
while you rest.
Email your resulting time directly to me (to keep it a secret) along with
your comments (ph@ambu.com).
If you are dead sure you've made it right and you don't get the correct
weight(s) using the Physical properties 'Very High' Accuracy, I would be
very interested in checking your model(s).
The material used is gold with a density of 1.93000E-005 kg/mm^3 (Inventor
default).
NOTE: Please follow these guidelines before posting files to me directly:
1 - Pull the End of Part marker up below the Origin folder in the Browser
tree on all the models.
2 - Pack and Go the Assembly file and related models.
3 - Use Winzip (www.winzip.com) to compact the files.
The winner will be contacted directly for uploading the model and additional
comments.
I'll report back to the Inventor 6 NG with the results and an updated
scoreboard when the 'contest' is over.
