Can anyone help me with simulating a water jet coming out of a nozzle in Photoworks. The jet is highly focused due to it's operating pressure, however the outer periphery of the jet is highly turbulent (similar to water jet cutting process). If I can visually represent the jet properly, I...
I was able to create the multi-body part as Shaggy18VW suggested ... looks fine for what I'm doing. Just trying to have an accurate representation of drawing from 1966 to develop maintenance tooling.
CorBlimeyLimey ... are you suggesting a call to my VAR to suggest an improvement?
Is it possible to tweak the Insert -> Assembly Feature -> Weld Bead to represent a stitch weld?
Can't seem to find anything in Help besides Caterpillars, but thats just for drawing representations.
SW2006 SP3.1
Thanks in Advance

OK - Here's the Solidworks response ...
---------------
"Your observations are correct ~ however the behavior show is dictated by your selection in the material property window.
When you create a part, with real view off ~ then RMB and choose edit material ~ with real view off ~ the Visual...
FYI
I've contacted my VAR and they were able to reproduce the error on 2007 SP1.? . They did not have a solution, so they reported the problem with Solidworks. I'll respond back if I get a solution.
Cheers

The Stratsys utilization has been extremely sparse, hence the comment 5 parts in 8 months. Sorry but previous post was a bit of a rant because I'm not happy with this machine and my recommendation for the Z-Corp was shot down. So here's some factual information you can use to justify your...
We purchased a Stratasys about 8 months ago. We had demonstrations of both the Stratsys and Z-Corp, and our preference was the Z-Corp because of the speed. However management made the decision to purchase the Stratsys because of the mess the powder makes.
So as it stands, we've used the...
FYI, the Realview issue occurs with and without Photoworks runing.
I read the thread that JMirisola has indicated, I cannot find the flag "Display PhotoWorks materials in SolidWorks" that it talks about. Perhaps because I'm using SW2006, or its the CK interface.
In regards to previous posts...
Thanks everyone ... appreciate all your assistance.
I was able to set the VC to run with SW. However no change. If I create a part with Realview off, assign a material, and switch Realview on ... nothing graphical occurs. If I then hit the "Edit Material" tab on the material selection, the...
Thanks for response Scott. I updated the VC drivers per SW recommendations ... no change. Unfortunately SW is installed using an image PC and I cannot update the service pack without administrators rights.
Can SWRx replicate this? I thought it was just for crashes. Can you provide some...
I've created a custom list of materials we typically utilize, with applied materials in the Realview Graphics section and textures when realview is turned off.
After a part is created, I apply the appropriate material. If Realview is turned off at that time, the normal texture for that...
We have about 10 users running SW2005 SP3.1, everyone running a stand alone toolbox off their local drive. You can understand my frustration.
I executed the instructions per past posts and SW website in regard to;
- copying the toolbox folder to our server
- editing the toolbox.ini file
-...
Our small machine shop will be investing in a 3-axis CNC vertical mill in the near future (option for 4-axis). We're running SW2005 SP3.1, and our main office has licenses available for EdgeCAM.
Anyone with experience with this program, I'm looking for feedback/alternatives. I've noticed that...
Thanks for your drawing solution. It sounds like MAJOR work, especially for 1000's of drawings. At this point I think we'll keep 1 seat of IDEAS for emergency purposes and convert as necessary.
Yes, I tried parasolid. It provided the same dummy solid as an IGES conversion. Is there...
