    Pneumatics Schematics

    We use Tubing Diagrams w/bench. Most symbols were drawn internally to complement a limited number of basic symbols available in the default catalogue.

    Composites Workbench - Anyone using

    wes, Since you have FEA/FEM code to size your components you do need to pass on the material, orientation and thickness law to CPD. It is possible, using a slightly more complicated CPD capability: GRID. Thats when the virtual ply manipulation "black art" starts; generally using highly...

    Composites Workbench - Anyone using

    WES616, From the information provided I will assume all the following statements are true: -you only do manual lay-up -your sizing is by trial and error (no stress input to CPD) -you only want CPD to define ply flat patterns and calculate predicted mass. in that case DS will have available...

    Composites Workbench - Anyone using

    We have been using it for many years. CPD really usefull training is customised, but if you just need an "eye-opener" DS will oblige. From experience, these tend to be a bit vague and disconnected from reality. The reason for this is that there are 3 main approaches to composite design and the...

    PIPE DRAWING

    If you are not "exposed" to Tubing Design the alternative is a very manual process, whereby you create a coordinates table from your cartesian node points in the pipe. The problem with this "manual" process is that as a designer you will only know if the pipe you have designed can be made, when...

    PIPE DRAWING

    A pipe drawing with bend angle and twist only would be useless; unless you do not intend to manufacture this pipe. You can bend pipes from 3D geometry, provided you can convey the manufacturing info in an appropriate format. What sort of application do you use these pipes for?

    young modulus and frequency

    I suspect fiberboard can be considered to be isotropic, therefore E1=E2. Laminated composites are intentionally oriented at specific angles in order to attain directional strength; is not uncommon to see E2 values that are double digits lower than E1 in unidirectional composites. It is...

    young modulus and frequency

    I concur with youngTurk but, it seems strange that you are getting E1=E2; their values should be considerably different, unless you are using a non-standard measurement methodology.

    How to create Piping bend tables in V5 R16?

    In the V5 help search for "Extracting bending data from bendable"; that will be a starting point but I doubt it will have all the process info you require. You should not start by the end i.e. the bendable; you must first define what are your company processes and integrate them in Tubing...

    How to create Piping bend tables in V5 R16?

    If you have a tubing run, your next step is to create a bendable. But to use the Dassault utility program you need to customise Tubing Design to meet your specific requirements. All this customisation is rather complex to set up properly and depends on what you want to achieve. Rgs

    TRIMMING BENT TUBES

    Hi Certain CNC benders have hydraulic cut off devices buildt in; it bends and cuts the pipe consistently if none of the other parameters vary, i.e. tube material, batch of tubes, temperature, machine process, operator etc. Anybody can bend pipes but if tolerances are paramount, a proper SPC is...

    V5 Tubing workbench R12 - Spec driven working?

    Hi, Anyone using in production the Spec driven Part placement within the Tubing workbench? We are still unsure if it is performing as it should, even though DS says "working as designed". Any good, bad or impartial opinions about the Tubing Design workbench? Regards AXXX

    V5 in unix or PC?

    So, it seems fair to conclude that Win boxes are far superior in terms of performance to unix ones. Another excuse I've heard to defend the unix cause is that unix architecture is based on 64 bit and potencially should be faster; it is indeed a pity that V5 was written to run on 32 bit... PDM...

    V5 in unix or PC?

    Hi catiajim, I think since we are in the business of designing aircraft, not in the boxes admin business, so the priorities should be to simplify designers jobs and not make administrators life easier. We have identical PCs so the admin job shouldn't be that more difficult. I think this is...

    V5 in unix or PC?

    Hi all, We are using here a mixed platform to run V5. PC boxes outperform unix ones by 1:6 in a production environment. IT still prefer unix because of an unspecified reason, maybe cultural, maybe they don't know how to justify designers preference for PCs. Any other folks with these sort of...

    Why V4 and V5?

    Hi, V4 had the best math engine of any CAE/CAD product on the market, but was based on old technology: pull down menus instead of icons and B-rep based algorithms (surfaces and wireframme); thus, users took a while to achieve high efficiency when using the tool. V5 philosophy is: an engineer...

    Making a fixed-size screen grab

    hi again, that is a simple operation do this instead: click on the capture options on the 2nd step below pixel tab rendering quality-> custom More Define your size in the Image size window cheers

    Making a fixed-size screen grab

    Hi, Do this: tools/image/capture on the capture window: click Red dot icon <capture> on the capture preview window: select the format/target directory, using the save as icon even simpler if running w2k: press print screen key. open your favorite graphics application edit+paste cheers
