    Pressure flow through slit

    Hello, I was wondering if anyone knows the equation for air flow pressure drop through a thin 1m long slit of thickness 0.063" at a given flow rate of air? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

    Deflection of loaded disk

    Hi I looked at that book, it didn't have the disk deflection equation. I was thinking that this might be the deflection correct equation for a disc with a hole in it. d = 0.221 Wx(R1^2-R0^2)/Et^3 where R1 is the outer diameter, and R0 is the inner hole diameter. Any input would be...

    Deflection of loaded disk

    gjb, If the disc has an hole in it of radius R0, would the equation be: d = 0.221 Wx(R1-R0)^2/Et^3 where R1 is the outer diameter, and R0 is the inner diameter? Also are the units of modulus of elasticity in N/mm2 and not N/mm? thanks for your help!

    Helical pattern

    Well what I did was to copy the entity so that 6 entities appeared in a straight line, then I rotated each individual entity by the corresponding degree so that each entity would lie on the helix (60, 120, etc...360) ...basically a two step process.

    Helical pattern

    Is there a way to use the cylindrical pattern command, on a helix path instead of on a circular plane? That is, copy something along a circular path, but have Z component to form a helix? Thanks for your kind assistance.

    programming language

    Some engineering programs come with a programming language to automate the drawing production process. These are commands that are read into the program and draw entities based on a specific format. For instance, Cadkey uses CADL and Autocad uses Autolisp. Does I-DEAS have a similar programming...

    I-DEAS Iges

    Hi RCD, The Old IGES commands you indicated worked well. Thanks for your help. /xto co bo fc ex -For Export /xto co bo fc im -For Import I am not sure why I-DEAS 9m2 runs on window's XP Home edition, it just does. I think the Orbix doesn't run on it though as you indicated.

    I-DEAS Iges

    I am running I-Deas 9m2 on WinXP Home OS and the IGES import seems to get stuck at the translator parsing stage. There are no spaces in the file name I am trying to import. The IGES export has the same problem. Has anyone else had this issue come up, and if so how did you go about solving it...
