I work for a company that design mobile satellite positioners. We have a customer that is insisting we use a latch for their hardware cases that can be set in position during unpacking and stay in position (friction or detents). Typically we use latches that are spring loaded to hold the hooks...

Congratulations spongebob, you must be at one of the few companies remaining that are burdened with overhead. I hope you have a monopoly.

Here's a link to post mount data: http://www.peterverdone.com/wiki/index.php?title=Shimano_Framebuilder_Info#Disc_Brakes_for_Post_Mount

Opened just fine with SW 09 vintage. I'll get it home and check it with their major competitor. It's configured for what I need.

No worries. It should get me close to what I need. I'll return the favor soon...Thanks

Not a problem. Sorry to hear about your drives.

STEP or IGES works. That's the brake that I'm using. Yeah, I found some IS PDF's on the Hayes site and some really good overhaul and service parts manuals on the SRAM site, but no caliper info. I'll swap a model/print of my adapter for the caliper model.

Anyone have a model or dimensions for a Avid or Hayes caliper? I'm trying to add disc brakes to frame that only has cantilever mounts.

Bottoming out the suspension would more likely cause the rim to flat-spot not taco. To taco a wheel the force would have to be applied normal to the rim x-section and not radially.

With the mtb industry moving toward 29ers I'd think that the rim mfgr would be optimizing the x-sections of 29er's for the higher moments that can be applied. Stan's website says their 29er rim has been optimized using FEA. http://www.notubes.com/rim_builder.php/cPath/680

I'm delving into a new realm of mechanical joints and need help selecting a fastening system. Who makes a good fastener for joining carbon fiber laminates to steel or aluminum structures? I somewhat familiar with the Huck system, but would like other suggestions.

That's it. Thanks.

I know that you can create a section of one part in an assembly, but is there a way to omitt an component from an assembly cross section? I've been away from Pro/E for about 2 years and my skills are a little rusty.

From my limited experience using Cosmos with assy's I've not found an easy way around the split lines when doing shell meshes.

You can add a point mass in Mechanica, or make a box that will have the same footprint as your motor and assign it the mass of the motor. Erik
