    mirroring a pattern

    How do you mirror a pattern in Wildfire. I'v created a hole pattern array andthat I'm trying to mirror and when I select the pattern the mirror button will not highlight. Anybody know what I'm doing wrong? Thanks.

    What is the meaning of lbm/min/KW

    Steve is correct, this is a bid proposal and yes I don't want to look stupid. I have just never seen those units put together in that way and thought that I would tell them I needed that much airflow per KW in my product instead of them telling me that they supply airflow per KW. Thanks for...

    newbie counterbore question

    I'm trying to create a counterbore hole but wild fire will only let me make a threaded counterbore hole. How can I make a standard counterbore hole using the hole feature?

    hole array in wildfire

    I have been using Solid Edge for several years now and yesterday I started using Wildfire 2.0. I can't seem to figure out how to make a hole array in sheetmetal. And so far I'm not impressed with the user interface for defining some of the sheetmetal features. If someone could let me know how...

    What is the meaning of lbm/min/KW

    The graph shows an area. At any given temperature there is a min and max flow rate. So basically the graph looks like a trapezoid. So to answer your question I guess the temperature is absolute at a given altitude but the flow rate can vary.

    What is the meaning of lbm/min/KW

    They have supplied a graph that shows flow rate vs temperature of the air at different altitudes. Flow rate and Temperature increase as the altidude decreases. They have the flow rate units as(LBM/MIN/KW). My understanding is that I would tell them that I need as certain flow rate per KW to...

    What is the meaning of lbm/min/KW

    I have a question? I'm working on a proposal for an aircraft product and the manufacturer says they can supply a air flow rate of XX Lbm/min/KW. Why is there a KW included with this number. I thought that it was just lbm/min. They are only supplying the air. Thanks. Gabe
