A380 Door and Landing Gear Animation

Model of 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 L-shaped 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 clash-free 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.
