    Radar Schooling/level up

    I'd like to know if anyone has found any good radar schools anywhere in the US that covers both frequency domain and time domain related analysis? Appreciate it if anyone can help

    Variable Radius Pulley for Steering: looking for a nice resource or someone who likes challenges

    Sorry, I misspoke, the brake is on the other side of the wheel, not the motor.

    Variable Radius Pulley for Steering: looking for a nice resource or someone who likes challenges

    Also for risk, the speeds reached are only 20 mph. The risk is to the user but the crash at this speed is pretty survivable.

    Variable Radius Pulley for Steering: looking for a nice resource or someone who likes challenges

    It's not like a bobsled. It has to be this way for a packaging reasons. The wheel has an electric motor drive inside of it and it folds out of a compartment. Since, I am in our R&D for a project that is planned for 5-10 years out, I cannot explain much more than that about the purpose, only...

    Variable Radius Pulley for Steering: looking for a nice resource or someone who likes challenges

    Hello, I am working on a research project that for packaging reasons needs to steer a wheel on one side (opposite an in wheel motor). It uses "handlebars" with a gear train with a pulley output. It is actuated from the pulley input through a cable (standard cable like bike brake cable or seat...

    Spiral Bevel Gears

    I was wondering if anyone had some spiral bevel experience. I would like to know how to make my own spiral bevel gear in CATIA but I can't find any good resources. The problem comes with making the profile an involute profile. Any resources or hands on help would be appreciated. If someone...

    General Tolerances: Where do you datum from? Please help

    This is a foot bracket. I couldn't find an example with more holes (for lightweighting, trim or whatever). Is there a good way to use profiles to do this piece? So you can see the rail connection and the vehicle connection holes are the GPS important features but he rest could be accurate to...

    General Tolerances: Where do you datum from? Please help

    CheckerHater, Thank you for your input. I have one comment though. I'm not talking about "my" drawing, but rather my case deals with how to interpret/enforce a customer drawing submitted to us from a while back. As for the 8015 that's a loosely followed rule because there's always standards...

    General Tolerances: Where do you datum from? Please help

    Belanger, This is true initially but after finding out that only dimensions on the drawing on covered by general tolerancing rules, I wanted to know if there is any rule for generally tolerancing dimensions that were left out of the drawing but relating it to the 3D. For example, complex...

    General Tolerances: Where do you datum from? Please help

    Mintjulup, In fact (not the case for my example above to be clear), 3D data at some OEMs is being replaced like in the link below by removing 3D so there is no transference issues from 3D to 2D. I've seen this for Honda this way before. Since most design is 3D nowadays to begin, it's very...

    General Tolerances: Where do you datum from? Please help

    At Mintjulup, you use the 3D to make the part not the drawing in mass manufacturing. In stamping you use 3D models to make your die not the drawing. Afterwards, you tweak it, cam it, etc. to get in the tolerance zone you need depending on the shape. So what does "3D is master actually mean?"...
