Hi, I'm Koenraad. I'm a mechanical design student from Belgium Ghent. Currently doing my Master's thesis in Aachen Germany. I've been reading the forum for some time. So I thought it became time to log in . I'm glad I found this forum. I've been searching for something like this for quit a while. I like reading on forums but I never could find one that talked purely about mechanical design. In my frustration I have thought several times to make my own forum :-D. I'll also put a link on my site where I post all my notes. Hopefully my fellow students will find this site faster than me. Thank you! Koenraad
