Custom Thread Calculator (SolidWorks)
Custom Thread Calculator (SolidWorks)
(OP)
I'm looking for a custom thread calculator. I have a Machinery's Handbook but I use many non-standard threads. I have tried going through the equations etc. (about 1 year ago, don't have info now) to create a calculator and it seems that there is not enough information to fully define a thread (need to model in SolidWorks). I would like to find or make a thread calculator that can calculate basic thread dimensions for say a 12.5 x 0.75P M Profile thread.
If anyone has resources for custom thread design that they could share I would greatly appreciate it.
thank you,
Jason

KENAT,
Have you reminded yourself of FAQ731-376: Eng-Tips.com Forum Policies recently, or taken a look at posting policies: http://eng-tips.com/market.cfm?

RE: Custom Thread Calculator (SolidWorks)
I have a spreadsheet that does this for Solid Edge but I suspect not applicable for SW.

I would be interested in seeing a spreadsheet for SE as regardless of software, the numbers used to define threads are same.

Didn't realize you were only interested in metric, although the basic thread form is about the same.
Attatched a line from the SE one I have, I did't come up with it and if memory serves it doesn't quite match the pre-programmed SE values for some diameters but is pretty close. http://fil

Also check the FAQ in the SolidWorks forum for how to create threads in SW.
