    Is the tech industry the best place to work?

    When I came out of college in 2010, I had a long and tough period of looking for work. I did not have any internship experience, which really made the job hunt difficult. Eventually I had offers from a major semi-conductor and a public utility (natural gas) corporation. This was 2010/2011 when...

    Solidworks 2010 Export as Tiff with Remove Background

    I deleted the background, because the assembly needs to be overlayed over another background that someone else is mocking up. I tried using gimp 2.6 and i get the same result, everything is transparent. Looks like I may have to just save it with a background and just delete it in photoshop. I...

    Solidworks 2010 Export as Tiff with Remove Background

    I needed to get a screen shot of my solidworks assembly without the background. I saved the image as a tiff and checked the option to remove the background that will make it transparent. Once I saved the file, I attempted to use Photoshop to insert some other background. However, when I opened...

    Using Recruiters to find a job.

    Guess you're talking about staffing agents. You hear negative and positive things about them. Usually before I make any decision I ask them to tell me more about their agency, so I canresearch that they are legit or not. Most of them won't even tell you the name of client, because of...

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    ...done before. I just had to do alot of explaining about why my resume did not scream out software engineer qualifications. Wonder why it didn't *sarcasm* Idno why they didn't post software engineer or tell the agent that. Might have done it to see my reaction at the interview. @moon161 I...

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    Yea I've been contacted by a few staffing agency's ever since I put up my resume on monster. I think it was just this particular agent that didn't want to do the extra work. A friend worked with a different staffing agenct in the same agency and got the face-to-face interview and some prep...

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    Actually it was through an agency. From your description, it seems this one isn't too good. I hear different opinions towards agencys both positive and negative. This particular agent did not interview me in person and we just contacted each other through phone calls. I had some when i was...

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    "A lot of words to say "blown interview". It happens. Move along. Find another customer." I don't even consider it anyway near a blown interview. Now the one I had with Northorp Grumman for intern about 2 years ago... that was a blown interview.

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    geez where is the edit button? Was writing my response when 2-4 more people posted. I've interviewed with other asian based companies before, but this one was unique in that 4 out of 6 of the interviewers were non-native english speakers. I didn't do much language or culture based research...

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    Thanks for the insight. Yea I did my research on the company background etc. I was told early on who I would be interviewing with. The name given had no indication that it was going to be a japanese manager. Only after I got there, it was someone else. The name of the guy that was given to me...

    So I didn't get the job, because a question that I asked.

    Just graduated with a MS in Mechanical Engineering and interviewed with this japanese company with a small office in the U.S. The job description listed many things that an ME is qualified for, such as motors, electromechanical, CAD, and failure analysis. Primarily the job was to interact with...

    Comsol Heat Conduction Using Identity Pairs

    Do the 2 cubes need to be actually stuck together in Comsol? I drew the 2 cubes far apart, because I was assuming that Comsol would understand the continuity relationship from the identity pairs. Therefore the program shouldn't require the 2 cubes to be combined at the interface.

    Comsol Heat Conduction Using Identity Pairs

    I'm trying to do a simple transient analysis of conduction through 2 interfaces. My test run is basically 2 cubes of 100 mm length. One cube at an initial temperature of 1800K and the other with initial T at 273.15 K. Both using library material properties for AISI 4340 steel. After observing...

    Ansys 12 Workbench Missing Tools in Toolbox

    Hey thanks for the suggestion. I started up ansys and selected the license to use academic and everything works.

    Comsol Transient Heat 3-D, Data does not make sense

    Yea it makes total sense. I won't have access to solidworks until tomorrow, but I already know the units are wrong in Comsol. The scale on the side of my model in comsol is from 0-216 m! I really wish it was labeled visually with units, but other programs, such as, Ansys and Abaqus don't do it...

    Ansys 12 Workbench Missing Tools in Toolbox

    Well the IT department says I only requested Ansys and not workbench. This makes me believe there is a separate license for it. Don't know why the workbench still starts up though.

    Comsol Transient Heat 3-D, Data does not make sense

    Hey thanks for the tip. I ran the simulation again as a 100mm x100mm x 100mm cube and the results totally make sense now. Now I have to go back to the connecting rod model. If units are indeed the case for the long cool time, then something must have went wrong when I imported my solidworks...

    Comsol Transient Heat 3-D, Data does not make sense

    ...and then cooling to room temperature. I'm using temperature dependent equations in my simulation; however, simulations show that it takes maybe 1*10^7 seconds for the model to cool. As a check to make sure I'm using the software correctly, I modeled a simple cube 1x1x1 dimensions. Inserted...

    Ansys 12 Workbench Missing Tools in Toolbox

    I've been e-mailing back and forth to my school's IT department trying to get Ansys 12 working. There were licensing issues before and now the program starts without a problem. I can run regular Ansys with the classic interface without a problem; however, workbench is literally missing...

    Multiple Spirals with Different Starting angles

    I'm atempting to model a stent. I have modeled one spiral so far and the steps were, 1. Draw a 16mm circle 2. Use the Helix/Spiral option to create the spiral 3. Draw a 0.2 mm circle and pierce the starting point of the spiral 4. Sweep the circle from step 3 with the spiral as the path. I am...
