Following the presentations given by the other teams, I continued to try and get ANSYS to work. In addition I worked on our team's presentation and am currently working to find a source to get more prototypes printed out.
Our group learned that we would no longer be able to use Prof Viswanathan's printer due to the required print time. However we will still have 3 ready models in addition to however many more we would be able to spend using our leftover funds on 3D hubs.
This week I was able to get a print of our podcar finished by the Central Shop. At this point in time we have two finished models available for use, with a third model in the works from Professor Youseffi. I plan to procure at least 2 more (for a total of 5) podcars in our stable of models.
After not getting conclusive answers from Professors Youssefi and Bowley regarding the issues about our CAD model, I decided to outsource some assistance from 3D hubs. 3D Hubs was able to print out the cabin and resolve the SolidWorks file for less than half the projected cost of other companies and services.
