Hi,
I'm trying to make an animation of a cylinder following a path however have been unable to encourage the cylinder to move. Please can anyone help me with how to set up the motion simulation?
I've modelled the path as a surface. I've constrained the edge of the cylinder to the edge of the...
Hi,
I'm trying to simulate a cylindrical part being forced into contact with a flat surface and would like to apply a bearing load however I can't find the function in my version of CATIA. I have no bearing load option in my loads toolbar. Is there another way of creating a sinusoidal load...
Hi,
I'm using dynamic sectioning in Part Design and have inadvertently changed a setting so that I now see the inside and outside surfaces but not a solid "cap" coloured green as it was previously set. This allows you to see right inside the part but is confusing. Can anyone tell me where the...
Hi,
I'm doing some check analysis on a cylindrical housing under external pressure (subsea); the radius / wall thickness ratio is approximately 8.
I have the capability to do static FE analysis which will predict stresses however I'm not convinced that if I compare these with material yield...
Hi - thanks very much for your replies; the component is used in the sea at a depth of approximately 50 metres and is attached to a device that is likely to generate vibrations.
Hi,
The part is axisymmetric, turned from bar material - it is essentially a tube with a flange on the end. The failure has occurred between the flange and tube.
Hi,
I have a component made from Delrin (Ertacetal) which has failed; I suspect the failure is due to fatigue driven by vibration. I've looked at the failed surface under a low magnification microscope and there appears to be what looks like "beach marks"; as the material is white plastic these...
Hi
I work in the UK and produce drgs to BS8888. I'm looking into whether we can use the SolidWorks hole tables without further modification. I don't think the symbols SolidWorks uses for CSK, CBORE, DEPTH etc are used in the BS spec? Does anyone in the UK use these symbols and if so how do...

Thanks TVP, that's great. I do have a couple more questions however!
How do I relate the patent to the material spec called up on the drawing please? The patent doesn't explicitly state the "93/7 Cu/Al + Tin + Cobalt" wording.
Also the drawing of the stud does not contain any heat treat...
Hi,
We are being asked to manufacture a special stud which was originally made from Aluminium Bronze to "NC Ashton 93/7 Cu/Al + Tin + Cobalt". The material is no longer available. Does anyone know of a direct equivalent or have any mechanical property data for this material?
The stud is used...
Hi,
Can anyone tell me if NX is available to run natively on Mac OS yet please? I asked my UK reseller and he didn't know anything about it. Previous threads on this forum from 2007 suggest that it was planned. If so, how does it run in comparison to Windows versions?
Cheers
