Force Vector Design - Episode 03 - Geometric Sections (Wooden Coasters!)

Hey you, thanks for checking out the video!


Whether you're brand new to FVD++ or a veteran looking to hone your skills and improve, I think there's something here for all. Force Vector Design is a HUGE topic and cramming all of the necessary information into a video is quite the challenge, so if I've missed anything along the way or you would like clarification, I would love to talk with you in the comments. You could also visit the No Limits Central forum page for lengthier discussions on the topic.


What makes me qualified to lecture on this topic I hear you ask? Two decades worth of an unhealthy obsession with these beautiful structures for starters, and an engineering degree to boot. I can't claim I'm the absolute best or know everything there is to this industry, but I do have a lot of really good information to share, and am, to this day and on, honing my craft and striving to improve my designs and understanding of the possibilities and limitations in creating roller coasters that are fun, safe, and practical for the real world.


I hope that these first two videos have been a good stepping stone for anybody looking to use FVD++ to design their coasters. I'm excited to dive deeper into using Force Vector Design and getting more people into this hobby.
