    Renaming part in assembly

    You could open up the assembly, do a File>Save a Copy and then rename the needed parts to the customers naming conventions. This way you could still have the old assembly and part names if needed.

    Errata for Curtis's "Fundamentals of Aircraft Structural Analysis"?

    Reading Data from Serial Port

    Here is the code I have so far....unfortunately I don't have anything to test this code with (nothing in serial port). I've put the MSComm object into the form...so I guess my question now is...to the best of your knowledge, will this work for the above described situation? Private Sub...

    Reading Data from Serial Port

    Hey, I'm pretty new at VB and programming in general, but I don't think my question is too hard of one. I want to be able to receive data from a serial port and write that data to a text file until I either tell it to stop or the connection is gone. Now I've never programmed anything to read...

    Beginner: Unknown Error

    Hi, I am new to using MSC.Nastran. I am running through a tutorial to help familiarize myself with the program. I have created a relatively simple bar with one load with the three translational constraints on each end of the bar, and I am trying to analyze. When I run the analysis the...
