Internal Combustion Engine Anamation

This is a three cylinder engine animation done in OpenSCAD .

The was done to observe the internal operation of Boyer ignition as install on a Triumph Trident motorcycle. Since all cylinders are sparked at the same time I was interested in visualizing the various cycles of the engine that were subjected to the extra sparking.

OpenSCAD settings for animation
Select from the main menu bar "View / Animate"
Below the compose window are three dialog boxes that need values:
Time: blank
Fps: 1
Steps: 24

This will start the simulation by iterating through each of the 24 different crankshaft angles defined in the R array (rotation)
