V6 engine F1 2026
A personal project for the arrival of the new 2026 F1 engines, and my first step in CATIA: a V6 in cutaway view to study how it moves inside.

Step 1
Moving to CATIA and joints
After a lot of time on SolidWorks, I moved my projects to CATIA, which needs very strict kinematic joints.
- First steps on the 3DEXPERIENCE platform and its cloud file management.
- Revolute and cylindrical joints set one by one.
- Assembly ready for simulation, with no conflicts.
Step 2
The motion
Check that the engine cycle works, from the crankshaft to the pistons.
- Simulation of the full cycle.
- Interference check.
- Cutaway view to read the inner motion.
