I already have the material assigned to each part, but that is a parameter that does not get shown in the BOM analysis.

Is it possible to view the materials assigned to all parts in an assembly?

I have a simple rigid assembly which is constrained and fine. Then one of the sub-assembly objects gets modified, perhaps a chamfer is added on a surface. Then in the top level assembly, whatever constraint was back to that surface gets blown away, it appears the reference name changes when...

I agree with a company like Parker, where each site has a defined product line. My particular case was in regards to a Smalley or 3M, where they ship the same product from different sites and the Cage code results from BINCS do not give any indication as differentiation between them. Sometimes...

When calling out a vendors item in our bill of materials, or on a vendor item drawing, we use CAGE code and their part number. What happens when you look up a company and more than one CAGE code is shown. Does it matter since all you are doing is identifying the company? Thank you

So basically, you are using VB6 to run CATIA if it is not running like any other program (I've used VB6 to run Word and Excel and Access before) and then controlling it with VB instead of CATIA controlling VBA. Sounds good, thanks for the clear post with code. Code always helps!

Can anyone tell me if you can use VB6 within CATIA V5? Natively it uses VBA which does not appear to use PropertyBag's. If you can use VB6 within CATIA V5 then how do you do this? Thanks

BTW, the fluid is jet fuel.

I have two volumes separated by a rotating disk spinning at ~8000 rpm with five 0.125" dia (0.200" long) holes in it. They are machined in the disc at a diameter of 1.2". I know how to calculate flow with a certain pressure drop through these orifices if they were static, but how do I account...

Thank you btrueblood for your posting, very helpful.

I have a high speed (30-40,000rpm) 1 inch diameter spinning shaft in a relatively otherwise stagnant volume. I need to know the pressure of the fluid at different distances from the OD of the shaft outwards. I have searched and can only find information about a spinning cylinder in an airflow...

Speed = 5000 rpm Radial Load = 175 lb Required bearing bore size = 12mm Fluid Viscosity = <1 cs (by the way, if user AHRBearing is anything to do with http://www.ahrinternational.com/, I couldn't get to any pages on the website other than the main page)

Does anyone have any experience with derating ball bearing life for running with aircraft Jet A type fuels as the only source of lubrication (flooded)? Thanks

I am looking to increase the bond strength in a current application. Are there particular surface finish parameters that best define surfaces for good bonding? (we currently look only at a minimum Ra). We are using quartz as the blast media. Are there general guidelines for size/shape of the...
