I will design your mechanism or machine part in solidworks and check it by fea


About this gig
A mechanism is judged at its extreme positions, not in its rest pose.
WHAT I DESIGN
- Mechanisms: linkages, cams, quick-release, locking and indexing devices
- Machine parts and frames, sheet metal, weldments, machined components
- Gear trains, shafts, bearing seats and drivetrain components
- Assemblies with bills of materials and revision indexes
STRUCTURAL CHECK
I validate by finite element analysis and check the result against hand calculation. A mesh convergence study decides the number I report, never a single run: a real stress concentration converges as the mesh refines, a numerical singularity does not. A peak stress quoted without saying where it was read is not a result.
HOW I WORK
1. I confirm the loads, the duty cycle, the material and the process before modelling.
2. I design to the load path and to the manufacturing method, not the prettiest shape.
3. I deliver native files, drawings, and a note on the choices I made.
TOLERANCING
Drawings are toleranced to ISO 1101, ISO 2768 and ISO 286. A dimension without a tolerance is a dimension the workshop decides for you.
DELIVERY
Native SOLIDWORKS files plus PDF, STEP, DXF and STL.
Delivery style preference
Please inform the freelancer of any preferences or concerns regarding the use of AI tools in the completion and/or delivery of your order.

FAQ
Which SOLIDWORKS version do you run?
Tell me your exact version before we start. A model saved in a newer version will not open in an older one, and that is a common reason a delivery gets rejected. If I cannot match yours I will say so up front.
Do I get the native files?
Yes, on every package, always. Native SLDPRT, SLDASM and SLDDRW files with a clean, readable tree your team can open, read and edit. PDF, STEP and DXF are included as well. I do not deliver black boxes.
What if my brief is incomplete?
Then I will tell you before you order. Missing material, missing load case, missing standard and no defined datum are the four things that make a drawing unusable in the workshop. Send me what you have and I will list what is missing.
What exactly do I get with the FEA check?
A report with the load case, the boundary conditions, the material, the mesh convergence table, and the stress and deflection results with the hand calculation they were checked against. Native files from one specific simulation package are not included unless we agree on it beforehand.
Do you work with CATIA V5 as well?
Yes. Parts, assemblies, weldments, sheet metal and production drawings in CATIA V5 too. I can also hand over through STEP when a supplier works in another system. Message me and I will point you to the right package.
