    Default Frame CAD files

    A while back, I stumbled across someone who years ago modelled a DB6 or DB1 frame (I don't remember exactly) in a CAD software, and then put the model in FEA and made some adjustments to it.

    I can't find the post I was previously looking at...

    As of right now, I'm looking to see if anyone has a an accurate CAD model of a DB6 frame or knows someone who does..

    Thanks,

    Jonathan

    Hi Jonathan,

    10+ years back, Neal Roberts had a blog going about rebuilding and improving a DB6 (or DB1.) I recall he modeled it and did some FEA work to see if he could improve the frame. He found it was very good and only did a few small improvements. He used to post here now and then. I would reach out to him to see if you could get a Parasolids or STEP file of the frame.

    I did a quick google search, but I didn't find the old blog.
