I am running Pro/MECHANICA on a complex part with some internal areas that are difficult to view. I can create a "capping surface" or a "cutting surface" to view these regions, but then I an unable to use "view max". I know you can zoom in on a particular location...
I designed a similar part a couple years ago. Polypropylene is your best material for a living hinge, although I have heard of people using polyethylene and nylon.
Try GE plastics. You will need to register and get a password.
Here is their design guide for living hinges...
TVP,
I'm not sure what you mean by the "~ 0.1 to 1 m section". The inside of the section should measure 1.125 inches (flat to flat). I don't care about the outside dimension (wall thickness), as long as the wall is thick enough to withstand a little torque.
Also, wouldn't it be...
I need some help. I am looking for a hex-shaped steel tube to make a nut-driver type tool for a 3/4" nut. The hex will need to measure 1.125" on the inside. I haven't been able to find anything except squares and rectangles. Does anyone know a source for hex shaped tubes?
Thanks, Soupcat
PSM recommends a hole size of 0.157" +.004".
the hole is 4mm or 0.15748", plus draft. So if anything, the hole would be probably slightly too large, but I don't think it's too small.
I am having a problem since upgrading to 2001.
Sometimes when using the MODIFY command in Part mode, Pro/E will crash and just disappear completely. It happens after selecting a dimension value to modify, typing in the new dimension, and clicking OK or hitting ENTER.
Has anyone else had this...
Thanks everybody for your advice!
Actually I was incorrect when I said that the insert was ultrasonically inserted. It is thermally inserted.
CoryPad, we are actually getting the inserts from PSM. Thanks.
Patprimmer, you are right, there is a much thicker wall section around the insert...
Never mind!! I just figured it out. I am such a jackass.
There is a button you can put on the toolbar "delete many objects".
I have been struggling with this for an hour.
We have recently switched from Pro/E 2000i² to 2001. In drawing mode, the menus are different. I can't figure out how to select multiple entities so I can delete them at the same time. I know I can hold down "shift" and select them one by one, but that takes too long. I want to be...
I am working on a product that has a bimetallic strip that is used for temperature compensation. It is a U-shaped strip, with the "legs" of unequal length. I am attempting to calculate deflection, etc., but don't know where to start - it is more complicated than the cantilever beam...
Neoprene (chloroprene) has the following chemical compatibilities (from Apple Rubber catalog):
Kerosene Questionable
Methyl Ether Questionable
Diesel Unknown
Petrol Poor
Jet Fuel Poor
So Neoprene (chloroprene) sounds like a poor choice for your application.
Can...
I have a polycarbonate part with threaded inserts (brass inserts, 4-40 thread, ultrasonically inserted into PC about 7mm or 1/4" thick). I am having a problem with cracks appearing around the inserts. Some of the parts appear to have some shrinkage or voids that occur due to the thicker...
