Thank you, Sean Dotson for your answer, I will try it today Olga

Dear users of Inventor, I am using Mechanical Desktop to make models for CNC machine. Most part of the models is fully symmetrical, that means in MD I can make quarter of model, use mirror command for the quarter, combine two quarters, mirror already half of the part and combine two halve...

Thank you, very much for the answer. I greatly appreciate your help.

Please, tell me what module to use for calculation of deflection of two edges supported plastic plate. I think it has to be flexural module, but I am confused, because for steel I used elastisity module. Look like the definition of them is same, but sametime numbers are different. Thanks in...

Dear, Ronm Thank you very much for your help, it works. Olga

Dear Robonave, I tryed to run FEA in mechanical desktop, but look likes it may "calculate" forever on more or less complicated models. Thanks, Olga

Please, explain me how to save models created in MD4 in ACIS format. Every time when I try to save my model in ACIS format, MD tells me: " No solids, regions or ACIS bodies selected", but I believe my model crated in Mechanical Desktop is solid. Thank you, Olga

Dear Frank, First thank you for your reply. You are right; I need the FEA software just for mechanical purposes. We produce rotation molded plastic pallets and would be good to know what they may hold under different load in static and dynamic. For solid modeling I am using Mechanical desktop 4...

Dear Grill, I am also is working in Rotation molding field and looking for FEA software. Why you have been advised for non-linear analysis software and what you finally decided to get? Thanks, Olga

Dear Adrian2, Thank you for the answer and excuse me for the delay with the answer. I already have tried to find where may be the trick that blocks my shell command, but I didn't find it yet. I am going to invest more time in the search. Thank you very much for the support, I will wright to...

I am working with hollow plastic part produced by rotational molding. I make a design of the parts in Mechanical Desktop 4. For machining molds from my models I don’t need to make the models hollow, but I would like to calculate the models with FEA program. I have tried to use “shell” command to...
