From basic physics we know, that:
P = M * w/t, where:
P - power
m - torque
w - angle of rotation
t - time
This can be translated into this formula:
P = M * n / 9550, where:
n - RPM
In other words, a power is directly proportional to torque. Then how does the dyno tests of car engines produces...
I work as a mechanical sawmill machinery engineer. I would like to get some recommendations for university textbooks or any other type of learning material, where I could find instructions on the following topics:
1. Calculating the power of motor which is needed to turn the circular/linear saw...
I am sorry for my late come back, I was busy
Very interesting idea of yours - that less features can bring less confusion. I must agree that if the user is poorly trained, then the less options he has, the easier work is.
Of course, all options require some user input, therefore expanding...
I was wondering if anybody here would have any opinion about the HICAD software. It is very rare, but some companies use it as the main tool. I would like to hear the experience about it - how does it work for industrial and automotive industries engineering?
I am starting this discussion here, on eng-tips forum, and parallel discussion on Solidworks forum. I think users here, on eng-tips, might be more experienced in both programs than at solidworks forum, which is the main reason for duplication.
So, I have received a job invitation to the company...
After spending much effort on analyzing my work and it's efficiency for the last week, this is exactly what my conclusion is. Those three steps may be the (only?) key to improve the efficiency of my work. This discussion have surely helped me to crystallize this. Thank you again for...
a) yes, appropriate amount of time spent on the project is actually a time save. I do my best to perform it, and I actually do fairly little amount of mistakes
b) I should think more about the setup and design strategy before starting the design project. I agree, I will think how can I do it...
Yes, I take into account the possible future designs, and I use my modeling technique a good as I can for that. But to be fair - all my designs are pretty unique, so this actually doesn't save me anything. I do it, because you never know when something is going to change, but it wouldn't save my...
I don't know what are you talking about. PDM is a file management system with lots of useful functions. It definitely is NOT time-consuming, frustrating or anything else negative. Furthermore, it is actually inevitable.
My engineering usually takes about 25-50 percent of an overall project time. We have about 15 people in manufacturing, so they build the product fairly quick. Again, we (me?) are here just to find some ideas how to improve the efficiency of constructing and engineering ...
Yes, I take the advantage of it when appropriate. Furthermore, there are functions in PDM like "Move tree" and "Copy tree" - sometimes even better than PAG.
Exact hours spent on the project design depends on the complexity of it. I often get a feedback from my boss that it takes too long for me, and I often agree (although not always, because sometimes he changes the design intent after I am almost finished with every single nut). Surely, better to...
Yes, learning to ask appropriate questions at the beginning of the design process in order to understand the task better is a must. I am doing my best on it. Also, as I said, first should be the basic design, and details should be the last. I sometimes mix this order.
