    CO2 for agricurtular silo

    Is CO2 the most effective substance to suppress silo fires? If CO2 is the optimal choice, than what amount is necessary? (worst case=nearly empty / half filled silo) Nozzles should be located on the top or evenly vertically? If not CO2, what else? TIA

    FM-200 : suppressed area / nozzle ?

    What is the recommended nozzle placement distance for FM-200 system in a computer room (12x7 m)? According to ISO 14520: "The type number and placement of nozzles shall be such that: the design concentration is achieved in all parts of the enclosure;..." How many nozzle is recommended to be...

    15-20 mins to calculate pattern feature?!

    The crappy pc is in the other office of our firm, and I think by the time I'll go there again, Solidworks will be already installed to a better computer. (We ordered office and engineer class PCs and the sysadmin put Solid onto one of the office PCs :)

    requirements to design fire suppression systems in UK

    I design fire suppression systems in Hungary and plan to work abroad, in an English-speaking country. I have the qualifications for working here, but have no idea what is needed abroad. Is it neccessary to have a native diploma in fire protection engineering? Or a special course? The other...

    15-20 mins to calculate pattern feature?!

    Something must be wrong with the PC or the config of SW at work, because I tried the same feature on my P3 800 Mhz monster PC at home, and with 2000 elements it calculated max 30 sec (geom. pattern). The pc at work is crap :) (or the configuration of solidworks is crappy)

    Maybe the way we use the pattern feature is the cause, anyways an independent review of the softwares' capabilities would come handy. IMO there cannot be such a significant difference between proe and sw.

    14 x 72 elements are patterned. We divided it into more steps already, but did not try with "geom. pattern" and "ver. on rebuild" switches off.

    I tried to pattern partially, but they needed the entire surface. Anyways if I tell them, there is no difference using this sw or other at that load, they'll step back, and tell, OK, simplify it, just show it us. Thanks for the help.

    15-20 mins to calculate pattern feature?!

    I did search the faq section already before posting, and saw that nvidia cards don't like solidworks. Rotating the model itself in the window is a bit slow, that's OK, it depends on the video card. I tought that during the calculation process of adding the plates to the surface (calculating mate...

    15-20 mins to calculate pattern feature?!

    It is a surface covered with small metal plates to mix the flowing media. Right now the managers need the printout of the isometric view of the model, but the number, angle, size etc of the plates may change anytime, so the model changes quite often. When they saw, it takes that much time to...

    15-20 mins to calculate pattern feature?!

    It takes 15-20 mins to add 1000 elements (small cubes to a surface) using pattern feature. Is this normal? I'm just curious about wether it is OK or not considering the config I have or something may be wrong with it. Do anyone have information or assumption regarding how much does this...
