The June SW Legion Contest asked the brave ones among us to provide the very simplest ellipsoid within Solidworks.\u00c2\u00a0 It turned out that the rules where a little too general.\u00c2\u00a0 In my excitement to announce this contest, I failed to specify that I was looking for scalene<\/a><\/strong> ellipsoids, not just any old sphere<\/a>.\u00c2\u00a0 I also left off the detail that I wanted a fully defined solid model.<\/p>\n

Due to this oversight, I will be awarding two CSWP tests this month.\u00c2\u00a0 One test will go to the person that technically fulfilled the initial requirements.\u00c2\u00a0 The second test will be awarded to the person that produced the simplest scalene ellipsoid.<\/p>\n

June SW Legion Contest has received eleven entries from ten individuals.\u00c2\u00a0 A couple of entries were just for fun.\u00c2\u00a0 One was a PDF of a model created in AutoCAD, and the other was a simple sphere submitted by a fellow blogger (who himself is giving away CSWPs, so does not need another one from me).\u00c2\u00a0 Technically, his entry would’ve tied with the other entry that used the same method to create a Prolate<\/a><\/strong> spheroid.<\/p>\n

The easiest way to make a sphere or similar object in SolidWorks is to have a single sketch of an arc that is then revolved.\u00c2\u00a0 We have one serious entry that used this method by Sandeep Pawar<\/strong>.\u00c2\u00a0 He has requested the CSWP test.\u00c2\u00a0 Best of luck, Sandeep, and congratulations!<\/p>\n

I have further review to undertake in order to declare a victor for the search for the simplest scalene ellipsoid SolidWorks model among the entries.\u00c2\u00a0 I have four very compelling entries which I’m currently looking over.\u00c2\u00a0 More details to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
