Actually, I am designing a car, and am looking for manufacturers or distributors in the US or somewhere easy to get to. I have a design for the car, and a hinge point, but am interested in acquiring an already manufactured hinge.
Any help in this is greatly appreciated.
It has also been called wheel rate.
Is it the result of the value of the motion ratio. I.E. starting spring rating*motion ratio=the spring rating that I buy.
We are designing a suspension system for a small car. It is a double a-arm suspension, and we are trying to determine the spring rate, and one of the values that we need is the ball joint rate.
How do I find this value?
Any help would be appreciated.
Well,
I am on a single pc, no network, the problem seems to just happen, then stays that way. I have had the ext refs checked and unchecked, depending, so I am not sure what the cause is.
I work with assys, and sub assys, etc, and the more complicated I get, like a front suspension/steering...
Hi,
Question here. I have SW 2005, make realatively large assemblies, and subs, subs within subs,etc. Problem is, I will get a complex assy together and working properly, IE front suspension/steering, I save it, and the next time, or several times later, I will open the file,and all of the...
This is intended to be a road vehicle, with ability to go onto mild off road, gravel, sand, dirt roads, etc. We had a space consideration, and part of that is what determined our basic shock, but that is just the physical parameters. We have a weight of approximately 1100lbs, with a loaded...
Thanks,
We are working a little more simply than that. We have alot of information on the basics, such as suspension motion, angles, ratios,etc, but the more indepth info we haven't gone into. What we have basically is the vehicle weight, spring rate of 1.67,( overall leverage ratio of the...
Hi,
I have a small car that I am designing, with double a-arm suspension. I know the approximate weight, shock ratio, and a few other parameters,and want to calculate what poundage of spring that I need.
Thanks
That is not what I meant. I went to the options and for external relations, checked the box. I think that this relates to the parts relation to other parts in an assembly, but I have checked it anyway. I am talking more about the lines and points relations to others in either the same sketch or...
I have a 3d wireframe model of a part that I am designing. I would like to move the individual points (with lines attached) to different points either numerically, or by dragging.
Problem is, when I move a point, the lines move, which is want, but sometimes other points or lines move, sometimes...
Hello Mr. Handleman,
Thank you for the solution to my headache. I knew that there had to be a way to do what I wanted, and you helped. It came out just as I wanted it.
Good luck to you.
P.S.
Not a student, just evaluating the prog, and I like it. I'm sure that the real one is even more useful.
Here is the whole macro:
Dim swApp As SldWorks.SldWorks
Dim Part As SldWorks.ModelDoc2
Dim boolstatus As Boolean
Dim longstatus As Long
Dim Annotation As Object
Dim Gtol As Object
Dim DatumTag As Object
Dim FeatureData As Object
Dim Feature As Object
Dim Component As Object
Public Pfx As...
Actually, I got the instruction for point number, but after I entered the number and hit enter, then I get an message saying "error 438, Object doesn't support this property or method."
Then, I go to debug the macro and the apparent bad line is:
"If SelMgr.GetSelectedObjectType3(1, -1) <> 25...
