hi troy, just some questions.
I looked at your site cooperation wiki, would like to ask you a couple of question before embarking in enw software.
Me and a friend of mine are working on our own bicycle model, he made a prototype by hand, I would like to check a bit more about the engineering part, that is, if we had to reproduce a few more models, test for types of tubes, infrastructural loads, angles... I would like to make a (parametric?) model on the software.

Fact is, I'd be new to FreeCAD.

Does the model of freeCAD is useful to study infrastructural loads and, eventually, to create a CAD file that companies for bending tubes could operate with traditional machineries ?

I see in your wiki referenced to vr3.ca/documents/ - would like to ask you about comments or suggestions from your experience with the cargo bike.
How did it go?
Where you guys able to make your cooperative?
Which challenges you had with engineering the prototype?
Was learning FreeCAD or parametrising the model useful, or you just sticked at the end to the maker part in artisan style ?
Thank you for sharing your considerations.
