Evidence of Work
Step 4 had us practice some more 3D modeling in OnShape, where we created a "Do Nothing Machine" and skateboard deck in the program. We also had the opportunity to experiment in Tinkercad where we tested different physical aspects of various objects in a simulation program. We finished by creating a lab write up.
On Shape
Do Nothing Machine
The Do Nothing Machine assignment had us learning how to create and connect parts of models together and animate them to demonstrate its use.

The skateboard deck assignment was a simple assignment that taught us valuable information for bending edges of a flat model.

Tinkercad
In this experiment we tested pressure of a connecting rod in Simscale. The pressure was applied to the left side in this case. The red colors on the scale represent high stress and the blue colors represent low stress. All units in this scale are dictated by the von Mises stress scale.
Lab Write-Up
Through the process of this project our group completed four test lab setups and performed/recorded three. The results for Transactional Coding, Download Tests, and Sound Tests are in the document shared below.
Reflection
Step 4 was not easy and I feel more and more weighed down by the amount of work necessary for this project. Most of the complexity of this project comes from the subject matter. We've been entirely self-reliant when it comes to learning new information about music production and the logistics of creating a sound pack distribution site. Originally our product sounded like a simple idea that could allow us to learn about and create something that was interesting to all of us, but soon proved to be too much to try to do in one semester with limited resources given our workspaces being in our bedrooms. This project has quickly turned out to be more focused on completing tutorials and learning about modeling programs than the original goal, an "in the field" study of sound engineering. All this aside, we will continue to grind out this abundance of work and hopefully create an end result that we are pleased with.
