A380 LHS Body Landing Gear Door Animation

Model of redesigned landing gear and doors for Airbus A380. As a senior detail design project for a class, the doors were to be redesigned with attention paid to weight and strength. As part of 5 person team, I was in charge of the CATIA modeling and component design the rest of the team was in charge of hand calculations and analysis (using NEi NASTRAN). Due to time constraints, only the outer Lshaped door was analyzed, but I modeled everything just in case. The landing gear were also modeled and the whole assembly was animated to ensure a clashfree model. The landing gear were modeled using a few reference pictures. Several dimensions, including the wingspan, length, and landing gear locations were verified with Airbus' data to ensure accuracy. Though it was a detail design project, I still consider this a preliminary model because there is still a ways to go before I would consider it complete.
