    Creating an Index of Referenced Files

    Funny, as we were talking about it I had a similar response for my coworker: "I've never used it, but isn't that what PDM is for?" Anyhow, thanks for the responses.. CorBlimeyLimey: I'll check out the SW search link at work tomorrow, but is your indexing link a mistake? It brings up a picture...

    long-term stability of elastomer springs

    Hi, I'm in Canada, but thanks for the info all the same. It reminds me to post this publication I found while researching the subject: http://www.ismithers.net/publishing/wag005/natural-ageing-of-rubber/ An organization called Rapra carried out tests on several elastomer compounds over the...

    long-term stability of elastomer springs

    We're looking to replace a steel compression spring with an elastomer one for space and weight savings. The problem is that the spring acts as a force limiter, so that the spring resistance (at a given deflection) needs to stay within a ±15% tolerance over the product's 5-10 year lifespan. Can...

    in-context references don't update during motion simulation??

    Hi everyone, I have a mechanism that involves components that are "floating" between springs, and I'd like to be able to 1) simulate the movement of those components in response to a motor input and 2) create an animation of this movement that includes the springs expanding and contracting...
