| − | The one item that is really holding me back is the geometry. I tried to use graph paper and a vernier caliper to make my model but I found this difficult with quite the lack of accuracy and precision. Our institution will eventually have a CMM machine and between this machine and local machine shops I will eventually get at least a profile. A profile like this will allow me to create my model entirely within Salome without too much difficulty. The approximation (sketch of cross section) I used in my first analysis was a combination of an ellipse, straight lines, and several arcs produced using Catia. It was also a terrible approximation. I would prefer to do everything with open source packages especially since software like Catia can be expensive to use in commercial applications.
