Thanks ArtemTat, The 3dcontent had something pretty close that I can use, I appreciate the tip. Believe it or not my company didn't pay for toolbox, so I don't have a registration code to activate it. Go figure :) Thanks again, Bob "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

Hi all, I've done a search here trying to find a CAD model of a rack with no luck. I'm hoping someone can point me to a web site that at least has 2-D drawings of a rack. I know the mounting hole standards, I'm just trying to model a rack for a proposal; the dimensions for the vertical posts...

Funny. Not very helpful, but funny......... "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

Thanks all, I've gone ahead and created the part using a table of discrete X and Y values. You're right lumenharold about the fixed points working. Talking with my machinist, by making the points close enough to each other and taking into account the tool radius, my STEP file into the CNC...

Hi all, I hope someone can help me, I've tried searching this forum but no luck. I need to create an acrylic lens with the shape determined by the following equation: Y=50 -2.75(sqrtX), x=0-250, in mm. I'm using SW 2006, SP0. I use equations for setting dimensions, but can't seem to figure...

Thanks, I thought it was probably cold rolling, but that was just an assumption. I appreciate a definite answer (plus the web site). Bob "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

Hi all, I've got a quick question; how are bi-metallic strips formed ? Laser welding ? Cold/Hot rolling ? Plasma spray ? Thanks for any help. Bob "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

Hedging your bets I see :) Actually I'm looking at threading a connector with a Ti body into a large 4130 steel housing, so the area ratio will be good. This will be sitting in ~600 meters of seawater, little or no current at that depth. I was initially thinking the area ratio would negate any...

Oops, I meant at the contact point with the cathode. Sorry for the poor proof reading. "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

I have a general galvanic corrosion question, I'm early in the design phase so I have no firm details as yet. I know a large anode/small cathode is ideal, but in general will the anode corrode faster at the contact point with the anode (e.g. a steel housing with a Ti connector body) or will the...

In my 25 years experience (BSME) having a MET degree rather than a BSME degree WILL cause you some limitations. This has much more to do with the piece of paper rather than ability, but the truth is it can be a roadblock. If your resume has MET rather than BSME, many HR departments will toss...

Hi all. I'm running SW 2006, SP4.1 and have a problem with the measure tool. Up until a couple days ago things worked fine, the dialog box would pop up when I clicked on the little tape measure icon. Now for some reason I can't get the dialog box to open. I press the icon, the pointer turns into...

Thanks MadMango, you saved me alot of time dinking around trying to figure it out. Looks like it's back to Roark & Young :) Thanks again. "You can observe a lot just by watching" Yogi Berra

Hi all, I hope someone can help me. I've done a keyword search and found nothing to help, so I'll try posting. I have an assembly that I would like to load in tension using COSMOSXpress, but it tells me I have to run a physical simulation. The options are motors and springs, not really what I'm...
