Its not just your eyes, the actual gear on the end of the crank does appear to be spinning in the opposite direction but if you look, I made a small exert on the crank to denote when cyl 1 and 4 were at complete top, that exert is spinning the proper way thus the gear is to, it just appears it isn't
Thanks

ME FTW!
I just finished school May '07 and I started at a small firm in Salt Lake City, UT. We're doing a project for DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency if you haven't heard of them). We're designing a helicopter (heliplane really) that will go 400mph and carry a 1000lb payload 1000nmi. It has jets on the rotor tips to hover. The heat transfer and ducting is interesting... It's a neat project. I've got the rotor hub up on the other monitor right now.
We use SolidWorks here as the firm I work at is small (200 on site employees, ~30 engineers), but I used CATIA V5 at Sikorsky as an intern and fairly extensively as the designer for our team senior project. I miss that program--so much more stable and powerful than SolidWorks!
I wonder though, has anyone tried to get together even a surface/skin model of the S2000 exterior? It would be neat to have S2KI engineers evaluate aero parts before members make purchasing decisions! I'd volunteer to help if V5 or SW was the platform, but I have no experience with SE or ProE, and I have only limited experience with UGS.

I've been tossing around the idea of fully 3d modeling my s2000 and then analyzing it via CFD to design aero parts for my senior project. We'll see how that plays out

Thread from the dead!!!
Anyone happen to have a copy of ProE? I had a year of it in college, and was unable to download it then, due to server complications
Also, Does anybody happen to have the S2000 in CAD? I have AutoCADD, but haven't used it. Looking to model a wide-body in Wildfire. But I'd like to mess with it in AutoCADD too.
TIA. ME FTMFW. (University of Illinois Champaign-Urbana for a year, Joined the Military in the Civil Engineering branch, currently taking my computer programming classes for my ME degree, before I head to Iraq, and when I return, plan on going back to UIUC to finish my ME degree.)

(update) there is actually a free 30-day trial they have out... Anyone know anyone that can crack it? 
Evil, I know... But cheap, if it's just for experimental use, and not for actually using it professionally.
