2-cylinder V-shaped thermal engine model

Transferring my models from Beta version to Gamma workspace, I came accros this model I did a few month ago.
It is actually my son’s first modeling exercise when he started engineering school this year. Given the 2D drawings with measurements, they where supposed to recreate the model on SolidWorks. As he asked me some help to understand some elements of the blueprints, I started to model a few parts just to explain to him. But one thing leading to an other, I ended recreating the full model on Shapr3D :wink:

Basically, it’s just extrusion and align tool at work, nothing difficult, but the result is worth the effort and a good first introduction to modeling for the students.
Exploded view is done “by hand” by moving each body one by one :sweat_smile:
