    welds in pro mechanica

    i need to weld two surfaces together. my problem is that they do not touch. they are about 0.125" away from eachother and when we manufacture them, this space has been left for the weld. Yes, thats kind of a big weld, but we need the full penetration between these two parts, thus the gap has...

    How easy is Pro/E?

    Like Heckler said, I'm still in school for ME, but one of our classes spent half a semester teaching us ProE. Now granted they didnt go into great depth, but from the basics that I learned in that class, I have been able to create some pretty neat parts. There is still much I dont know, but I...

    Mechainca FEM to Normal Analysis

    Im using Wildfire 3.0, and when you have a part open that you would like analyzed and open Mechanica for the first time for that part, it brings up a box asking what kind of analysis and if you want to do a FEM. My co-worker clicked on the FEM box and continued on, now he has changed his mind...

    Center of Gravity

    Im trying to find the center of gravity for my whole model. I have thus far been able to find the CoG within a plane, but that is not what I need. Is there a way to get the X Y and Z coordinates for the CoG of the full 3D model?

    Constraining and Applying Loads in Pro/M

    so i have placed a 'gravity' load on the ucs of the model. (9.81 m/s^2 going down and our acceleration rate of the horiztonal movement). now when i go into the analysis and create a new dynamic analysis, it doesnt give me an option to choose what loads i want to use, only constraints. does...

    Constraining and Applying Loads in Pro/M

    The company I work for is looking to simulate what can be considered a 'shock' load on a plate. What I have is a plate of steel, roughly 12"x12"x1.75" that rolls along a track. the track is not smooth and at certain point (ie intersection) within the track, the plate will drop slightly...
