    Solidworks representation of a lake bottom - how to?

    Thanks again for the replies everybody. The methods being mentioned for digitizing the maps are pretty much what I have tried so far - taking scans of maps and tracing them in Solidworks with different depths at different planes. Making vectors is tricky because the maps are generally low...

    Solidworks representation of a lake bottom - how to?

    Thanks for the replies everyone. What I'm doing is hoping to make some models of lakes for some friends and family who live on them using my CNC router. I'm looking to do it in Solidworks because that's what I have access to, as well as Mastercam for the carving. I know it's not ideal for...

    Solidworks representation of a lake bottom - how to?

    Hi All - I'm trying to model the bottom of a lake (could be any lake, really) in Solidworks. I'm not sure if this is the best place to post the question but I couldn't think of anything better and I think I could really benefit from a couple different viewpoints on how to approach this. I...

    Solidworks Training / Certification

    Well I bit the bullet tonight and bought the subscription to i.get.it. I'm looking forward to getting some time to sit and work with it for a while -- hopefully tomorrow night. Thanks again for all the advice everybody.

    Solidworks Training / Certification

    Thanks again for the advice. I'm pretty sure that i.get.it is how I'd like to do it. I just still don't know if I should pull the trigger. What do you think of the value of CSWP for someone like myself -- looking for his first professional job in design? Is it worth the $1100 or so for...

    Solidworks Training / Certification

    Thanks everybody for your advice. I have been watching on eBay for the manuals, but I've found that even the 2006 editions are rather rare, and I have yet to see any 2007 (leading me to wonder whether or not they're being used yet?). I did get a VAR to tell me that a "set" of the books (I...

    Solidworks Training / Certification

    Hi everybody, I'm currently looking into the Solidworks CSWP certification, and I'm looking for a good way to prepare for it. I've been hoping to purchase a set of the training manuals as used in the training courses provided by resellers, but I haven't had any luck in convincing anybody to...

    Determining force from displacement on a polyurethane roller

    Well, that was what we first tried. The configuration of the whole deal makes springs non-ideal. We're actually having a hard time getting the springs to hold it down tight enough. There's just too much stuff in the way to get a good enough lever on the roller. Thanks for the idea though.

    Determining force from displacement on a polyurethane roller

    Hi all, I'm working on designing a pinch roller system, and I'm having some trouble deciding how to hold the two rollers together. One roller is 1.5" knurled stainless steel and the other is 1" steel roller with 1/4" of 80A polyurethane bonded to the surface. I would like to use a cam system...
