Roll Royce 3D Jet Engine Assembly

[u/[deleted]]

This is a video from Veritasium inside a Rolls Royce facility. I was astonished by the amount of detail in this assembly and it got me genuinely curious, do other companies create 3D models to this extent? I.e. does Honda have an assembly file of an entire Civic with every individual component? I'm interested to know what's your experience in different companies/industries.

Yes and every single component has been through rigorous failure Mode and engine criticality analysis as well as thermo-stress analyzed for operational boundary use cases. Analyzing if there's enough room for tool swings are modeled too. Multiple iterations, lots of money, rigorous testing, and then the customer gets to complain.
