Read the EVENT DESCRIPTION --------->
Winning Design one year ---------> PART 1 : BRIDGE DESIGNER 2016 1) Open up Bridge Designer 2016 on your computer
2) Watch the following tutorials to create a successful bridge in Bridge Designer:
Bridge Design Part 1
Bridge Design Part 2
3) Design your bridge. Make sure that you do multiple redesigns and load tests and that the truck can successfully cross the bridge.
4) Once you have a successful design, take TWO pictures of your design:
1) Your bridge design (on the design page) - Name the picture: Design-YourLastName (Use the snipping tool)
2) Your load test -Name the picture: LoadTest-YourLastName (Use print screen: Fn + Prt Sc)
5) Upload BOTH IMAGES to the Bridge Images Folder
Picture #1: Bridge Design
Picture #2: Load Test PART 2: DRAFT YOUR BRIDGE IN SKETCHUP 1) Watch the tutorials and follow the instructions to create your bridge in Sketchup.
Step 3: Importing a Screenshot
Step 4: Drafting in Sketchup
Step 5: Making it 3D
Step 6: Increasing Members
Step 7: Decreasing Members
Step 8: Reducing the Mass
Step 9: Intersecting Faces
2) Once you have completed your bridge in Sketchup, use the snipping tool to take a snapshot of your design. Save it to the desktop with the name: SketchupBridgeDesign-YourLastName.
3) Save your bridge Sketchup file with the name: BridgeDesign-YourLastName on your desktop.
4) Upload the Sketchup file (.skp) to 3D Bridge Folder to be 3-D Printed. PART 3: TEST AND REDESIGN 1) Once your bridge has been 3-D printed, grab a partner to help you test.
2) Put your bridge on the test platform, have a partner SLOWLY step on it and put their weight on it until it breaks.
3) Look at the pieces and determine where you need to make pieces of the bridge stronger.
4) Redesign the bridge in SketchUp and then upload the new file again (Name: BridgeDesign2-YourLastName) to 3D Bridge Redesign. I will reprint it again.
5) Depending on how much time we have, you can repeat this step multiple times until you are satisfied with your design. PART 4: RESEARCH 1) Download the Research document and save it to your desktop with the name: Research 3D Bridge-YourLastName
2) Using the resources listed below (or your own Google Search), type out the answers onto the research document.
3) Once you have answered all the questions, upload your document to the Research Document Folder.
