I need an experienced CAD designer with strong knowledge of agricultural machinery (folding frames, booms, trailed equipment, etc.) to optimize the pivot point of a folding frame. Project Details: I have a 3D model of an agricultural machine (imported from STP file). The model consists of: Yellow = Main frame (fixed) Blue = Additional fixed component Red = Folding frame (this part must move) Green = Hydraulic folding cylinder Task: The red folding frame should move similarly to the reference video (see folding motion from 0:08 to 0:15): → [login to view URL] You should: Create a proper revolute / hinge joint (or equivalent in your CAD system) between the yellow main frame and the red folding frame. Find and optimize the pivot point (ideally located near the green hydraulic cylinder) so the red frame folds upward and inward smoothly into a compact transport position. Make the pivot easily adjustable so I can test different positions quickly. Integrate the green hydraulic cylinder with proper joints/mates to simulate the full folding motion. Ensure good mechanical leverage, realistic kinematics, and no collisions with the blue fixed part. Deliver the final model with clear documentation of the best pivot location and parameters. Important: You can use any CAD software you are comfortable with (Fusion 360, SolidWorks, Solid Edge, Inventor, Onshape, Creo, etc.). The source file is STP, so compatibility is not an issue. I prefer a parametric and easy-to-understand solution. Requirements: Strong experience with kinematic mechanisms and folding agricultural equipment Clean modeling and professional assembly/joint setup Ability to explain the solution clearly (I am not a full-time designer) Project Scope: Estimated 2–6 hours of work I will provide the complete STP model Communication in English

HI, I can deliver precise CAD optimization for your pivot point mechanism with improved alignment, smooth rotational functionality, manufacturable tolerances, and efficient assembly-focused design refinements tailored for reliable real-world performance. Questions ✅ Which CAD software and file formats are currently being used for the pivot point design? ✅ Is the optimization focused on mechanical movement, structural strength, manufacturing efficiency, or all combined? ✅ Do you require only pivot refinement, or also full assembly review, motion simulation, and production-ready CAD updates? Warm regards, The Blend Nation.

As an experienced CAD expert proficient in various software like Solidworks, Fusion 360, and more, I understand the importance of accurate assembly and clean modeling. In your project, my first priority will be to create a revolute joint inside the CAD model, designed to mimic the folding motion you referenced from the YouTube video. Next, I will meticulously optimize the pivot point near the hydraulic cylinder ensuring smooth upward and inward folding while avoiding any collision with the blue component. This along with regular progress updates during our collaboration will ensure that you are well-informed and confident throughout the

Folding frame kinematics is all about pivot placement — get the hinge point wrong and you lose mechanical advantage, risk collisions with fixed parts, or end up with an awkward transport envelope. Your reference video shows clean upward/inward fold, which means the pivot and cylinder orientation need to work together. I've handled multi-body kinematic assembly in Fusion 360 and SolidWorks, with specific experience tuning revolute joints and hydraulic cylinder mates on agricultural equipment rigs. I'll import your STP, establish revolute joints between the yellow and red frames, parametrize the pivot location, and integrate the green cylinder with proper cylindrical rod-end mates. Then I'll iterate pivot positions against your reference video to lock in smooth, collision-free folding into transport. You'll get the optimized model, a clear technical note on final pivot coordinates, and a quick guide to adjust parameters if needed. I'll have an initial pivot candidate back within 24 hours. I have a few questions: Does the hydraulic cylinder have fixed attachment points on both yellow and red frames, or does one end move? Are there any other constraints — angle limits, stroke limits on the cylinder, or ground clearance minima during fold? Do you want the pivot location fully parametric (so you can shift it in the model), or locked once optimized?

Hi there ! With my extensive experience in mechanical and agricultural design, I am confident in my ability to optimize the pivot point of your folding frame. Not only am I well-versed in a wide range of CAD software, including SolidWorks and Fusion 360, but I also bring a deep understanding of kinematic mechanisms and their application in agricultural equipment. Using my skills and knowledge, I will expertly create a flexible revolute joint between the yellow main frame and the red folding frame, allowing for smooth upward and inward folding just like in the reference video you provided. Additionally, I will carefully consider the placement of the pivot point near the hydraulic cylinder for optimal transportability, while ensuring realistic kinematics and no collisions with the blue fixed part. Throughout my work on this project, I will maintain clear communication with you and provide detailed documentation of the final model that includes information about the best pivot location and parameters. Rest assured, choosing me would not only guarantee an aesthetically pleasing design but also a practical and adjustable solution that caters exactly to your needs Thanks & regards Gaurav Sharma…..

Hello, This project fits very well with my experience in mechanical CAD assemblies and motion-based design. I can work directly from your STEP assembly and set up: * Proper revolute/hinge joints between the main frame and folding frame * Parametric pivot positioning for quick adjustment and testing * Hydraulic cylinder motion with realistic joint behavior * Collision/interference checks during the folding sequence My goal will be to optimize the pivot location so the folding frame moves smoothly upward and inward into a compact transport position while maintaining good mechanical leverage and realistic kinematics. I work primarily in SolidWorks and can provide: * Clean and organized assembly setup * Easy-to-adjust parametric pivot solution * Motion study/simulation * Documentation showing the recommended pivot position and important parameters I understand the importance of keeping the mechanism simple, practical, and easy to modify for future testing. Once you send the STEP model, I can review the geometry and begin testing different pivot locations immediately.
