Experiment 2 - Solidworks Volume Calculations

Y% Volume Explosion

Y% = 28% = 28702.28 cubic meters retained


X% Volume Explosion

53% = 54329.32 cubic meters retained


Cactus Model Mass Properties














Total Volume: 102508.15 cubic meters
X% = 53% = 54329.32 cubic meters
Y% = 28% = 28702.28 cubic meters

Experiment 2 - SolidWorks Tutorials

Revolves & Sweep Tutorial
This tutorial oulined how to create a mass by first sketching a profile, then using revolve and sweep around a centrline axis to complete the model. This function is similar to Solid Sweep and Solid Revolve in Revit in creating solid forms.












Parts Tutorial
This tutorial coverd the basics and use of the SolidWorks interface. Sketching with lines, extruding, cutting and dimensioning are some of the elements used to create this model. I found that unlike some other design programs, you have to dimension a line to accurately assign it its size.

Loft Tutorial
Planes are used in this tutorial and it seems a vital feature in SoildWorks in creating any object. Creating a solid by connecting the profiles is what defines lofting in this case. An interesting technique to bend the hammer end was produced by adding a flex feature.

Experiment 1 - The Physical Effect of an Explosion on Porosity

In this experiment, I conducted a series of explosions to illustrate how one single detonation can in turn create a chain reaction of explosions and demolition. I found that the placement of objects was vital in how the course of destruction took place. I used small objects as well as larger masses to demonstrate how an explosion would affect them both.

Experiment 1 - Compiled Machinima Video

The intersection between Explosion and Porosity is illustrated in these videos with a common concept of explosive movement. Either during an explosive state or post detonation. One explosive influences other points therfore affecting the objects around them. The setting or placement of these explosives is also seen to be of importance. It can be underwater, on a vertical axis or confined with boundaries. these all affect how the explosion thrives and how the demolition of objects occur.
