    What happened to my thread?

    @ScottyUK Because I have to disappate 3.3 A * 1.6 VDC instead of .150 A * 1.6 VDC, right? Now I get it :-) Thanks for the answer.

    What happened to my thread?

    I'm back :-) I got my boards in and they work fine. Though I have one last question: I designed in 11 SM resistors for each series chain to drop 1.6 volts. Did I make a mistake? Why wouldn't I have just one SM resistor at the start of the circuit to drop 1.6 volts and the deliver the...

    What happened to my thread?

    Maybe this will answer my question: Does a SM resistor go at the end of the series chain? I always assumed at the start of the series chain. I thought a resistor dropped the voltage prior to it entering the series chain - thus limiting how much voltage is supplied. If it goes at the end then...

    What happened to my thread?

    Ok now we are getting somewhere. @VE1BLL (Military) I now understand your concern. And I'm as concerned as well :-) Here is my circuit in a nutshell: 3.2 Vf typ (3.6 Vf MAX) .150 mA 24 volt CV PS supplying 3.3 A 7 series in parallel with 22 chains I calculated using typical Vf as the...

    What happened to my thread?

    @CorBlimeyLimey (Mechanical) I thought it was specific and detailed. I did all the ground work up front. I just needed reaffirmation on the specifics of a SM resistor - how to calculate wattage for proper sizing. I would have liked at least an explanation for the deletion. It was a bit sudden...

    What happened to my thread?

    It was a novice question since I'm a Mechanical Engineer by degree. As a Mechanical Engineer in a small company without much of an Electrical Engineer in house (supposedly coming) I wanted to seek the help of knowledgeable resources on this board. I thought this is what these forums allow -...

    What happened to my thread?

    I had a question on this forum concerning a SM resistor in a LED circuit. It has since disappeared? There was a poster that posted an admonishment (to whom I do not know), and I checked today and it has since disappeared. Was there a violation in posting rules?

    What bothers me is that there is no discussion nor presentation of SW analysis components. I'm more interested in seeing the future of Cosmos et. al.

    Please enter an Integer between 2 and 256

    uGlay, I was having the same problem as you. I installed 2009, and could change the precision with no problems. Then all of a sudden I was getting the error you were getting. Nothing changed with my install. Your solution worked for me as well. I would have never thought of doing what you did...

    Cosmosworks 2010?

    Was there a demonstration of 2010 Cosmos Simulation products at SWW 2009? I've read the info about SW 2010.

    NX Flow and NX Thermal on Mac OS X

    "OK, I just checked on the status of the CAE modules, including NX Flow and NX Thermal, for the Mac OS port. The porting of these modules, and that includes ALL CAE products, are being planned for NX 7. For NX 6.0.1 (if we release it) it will cover the basic CAD and CAM modules only, but there...

    Arc smoothness????

    JMirisola, Look at my attached link. Over a 2.6 inch span there are five facets to define the smoothness of the arc. I wouldn't mind maybe 100 to define the smooth arc, but not 5. This doesn't change regardless of the settings. I decided to extrude a circle. It was somewhat faceted initially...

    Arc smoothness????

    It's a Quadro FX 1400 set to Solidworks. 4 GB's of memeory Win XP Pro If I extrude a circle, and change the image quality the circle is smooth. So I don't think it's a graphic/screen issue. Is the arc smooth? - yes Does it look smooth? - No

    Arc smoothness????

    Here's a link to what it looks like: http://i11.tinypic.com/67evigp.jpg

    Arc smoothness????

    I created an arc and then extruded a thickness and length. When shaded, the arc exhibits faceted faces as opposed to a smooth surface. I went to Tools/Options/Document Properties and bumped up the Image Quality to High for both shaded and Wireframe. Still looks facted. I'm inserting this part...
