Shock Absorber Modeled in CATIA V5 – Portfolio Project

Just finished modeling a twin-tube hydraulic shock absorber in CATIA V5. It combines coil spring support and hydraulic damping to absorb vibrations and impacts.

Components modeled: Piston, cylinder, piston rod, coil spring, and mounting bushings. Key skills demonstrated:

3D part modeling

Assembly constraints

Mechanical design for manufacturing

Great project for sharpening CAD skills and building a freelance portfolio.

Feedback welcome.

How to Draw Isometric from Front and Top View | Orthographic to Isometric Tutorial

Hey everyone!

I just posted a new video on the channel.

In this tutorial, you'll learn:

  • How to convert orthographic views (front and top) into a full isometric drawing
  • How to find the three axes (X, Y, Z) and maximum dimensions
  • How to build the isometric box step by step
  • Bonus: How to generate the left side view from your isometric drawing

Watch the video here:

Question for you: Which part of orthographic to isometric conversion confuses you the most? Drop a comment below.

Thanks for watching and supporting the community!
