i only used 07 and 08 but you couldnt damage the parts. you can rotate it and check stress points tho

solid works is amazing i wish hudson valley used it more. when i went to school there they tried teaching me shity 2d cad after i had 2years exp 3d design. fail thats why i decided to teach myself

and measuring things and inputing that into pc each time sucks esp if part is mass produced. check out 3d scanners that input cad. amazing and time saving but expensive unless you have engineering buddies. and most honda motors are already on file for solid works
