You are tasked with designing a computer mouse. It is up to you on how complex and/or unique you want to design this mouse to be! The skills you will gain from this sprint can easily be applied to designing an aerobody, following the similarities between the general shape of the two!
...
There are no limitations or restrictions on your design but be sure to make it realistic and human friendly (i.e., it should fulfil its function and be usable)! For example, do not surface model a simple cube as that would probably not work as a mouse and nor will you learn much from it.

DIMENSION TYPE | AVERAGE RANGE |
---|---|
Length | 10cm - 14cm |
Width | 5cm - 7cm |
Height | 2.5cm - 5cm |

A completely finished CAD model should be ready, this should be exactly how you want the design to look like in real life. All dimensions and features should be accurate and modelled using proper techniques. Bring To Review: Final CAD Design
Week 5:
CFD simulations You should also perform CFD simulations on your mouse. Although CFD sims are not too big a concern for computer mouses, however they are very important for MSXV! By going through a CFD simulation you will learn how we are working on optimizing the shape of the aerobody to improve our coefficient of drag and overall flow separation.
