I have to admit, I was wondering how you managed to make such amazing models in any of the FOSS MCAD suites. It makes a lot more sense now. I actually have Inventor (and the simulation suites (I love that my autodesk accout still works from when I was a student)) on my personal computer, and I use Solidworks all day, everyday at work. I'm a mechanical engineer, so this sort of thing is right up my alley. I would be more than happy to have the inventor files if you are okay releasing them. Otherwise I'm fine waiting for the full release.
Have you been able to run any freq./resonance simulations to see where you might run into issues? My gut instinct is that your original elbows are actually perfectly suited for resonance damping because you can change out the spring(s) to provide some level of damping.
