Any advise on where to find a 3D CAD file of a mechanism or system such as a Seahawk Helicopter

CVerheul
I recall there used to be an MSC employee that maintained a database with generalised CAD data for mechanical objects. Is this still maintained ?
 
Or does anyone has any advise where to find such a (not to detailed) CAD file of a Seahawk Helicopter ?
 
Thanks in advance,

    Thanks Guys,
     
    I managed to get both files in.
     
    For the record: I made a quick and dirty utility to connect it to an empty part in a model. usually I would have tried to convert the CAD file to a Parasolids file and use it in a more elegant way (allowing export to a *.cmd file with only a singe parasolids file in stead of a wealth of *.shl files etc etc.).
     
    I spent some time to try this on the *obj files but then half the CAD data was lost in the parasolids export/import. :(
     
    Q's:
    • How much effort do you typically invest in making 'stable' parasolids CAD input files ?
    • Do you use tools like SimX or Apex to convert to parasolids CAD files, or do you typically import any CAD format and leave it like that ?
     
    Thanks for the feedback,
     
    Kind regards,
