    I'm having a tough time with the Probe Results command in Cosmosworks. I have a cylinder that I have probed many locations and I would like to simulate the probed locations on stress result and strain result plots. I have created the Sensor-1 that has all of my locations and even saved it to...

    BOM Question

    I am using SW2007. Does anyone know how to overide the quantity in an excell based BOM and have SW retain the changes. We use materials in our assemblies, like solder and flux, that I would like to show up on our BOM as AR (As Required). I currently just save a blank part with our material part...
