    Creating website controls in Visual Basic 2005?

    I have in the past used Visual Basic 6 to create both Active X controls and .exe files for use in creating various calculators to post onto websites but with the advent of Visual Basic 2005 was wondering how this is done with that software. The microsoft website talks about the need for Visual...

    Stress relaxation curves for Epoxy coatings?

    Does anyone know where I may find some stress relaxation curves for epoxy coating materials of any sort. I am trying to analyze the loosening of a clamping bolt compressing on an epoxy coated steel surface. Thanks, Phil

    I am looking for a Hydrologist expert for failure case in So Cal area

    Hi, I need to find a hydrologist in the Southern California area to work as an expert witness consultant on a large water pipe failure. The main issues to cover are standard pressure test methods for pipe systems and flange assembly design issues. Any tips, suggestions or leads for experts in...

    Renting processing time on supercomputer grid???

    Thanks, I had considered something like that but was somewhat concerned about whether linked computers could send viruses that way. Also I was wondering if the connection speed would drastically reduce the computing time. I also need to look into issues with the program software as to doing...

    What is the most effective marketing technique in your business?

    I have tried marketing letters and trade magazine articles to promote my engineering services. Typically in a fairly well targeted mailing campaign if you send 500 to 1000 letters you may grab one prospect that results in a project. Similar for magazine articles, one trade article may get you...

    Anyone try running models on rented computer grid?

    Due to the run time required for some of my mechanical event simulation FEA I have been looking into renting CPU time on an external computer cluster Grid. I wanted to see if anyone has any success in doing something like this and get some advice and thoughts on doing this. So far I have...

    Weldless flange use on Epoxy coated steel pipe?

    I wanted to check to see if anyone has experience in the use of weldless, Uni-Flange type, setscrew flanges on fusion bonded epoxy coated pipes. I was considering using one on a 12in pipe exposed to steady water pressure of 85 psi with some infrequent minor pressure pulsation up to perhaps...

    Can Algor V19 run on a cluster of computers?

    Sam, I noticed that as of late supercomputer services are arising wherein one can run their application on a remote supercomputer to speed up analysis time. As an example IBM has setup their supercomputer Blue Gene to be available for CPU time rent. Do you know if Algor software will be...

    Can Algor V19 run on a cluster of computers?

    Does anyone know if Algor V19 software can run on a cluster of computers? I was thinking this would be good way to speed up the analysis of large models? Phil

    Resistance heating of electrical connectors?

    Thanks for all the tips so far. We have the connector and sockets work vended out. I will see if I can get more specs on the sockets and pins and some more info on the molding process. Do you think the molding temperature is causing some socket shape distortion or the parrallenes of the...

    Resistance heating of electrical connectors?

    Scott, We will probably replace the pin and sockets as a set. Right now we are trying to understand the exact cause of failure and select a new pin/socket product for future units so that know we won't get this problem again, thanks again, Phil

    Resistance heating of electrical connectors?

    Would a heavily used connector design normally call for a socket with perhaps 3 internal prongs and/or prongs with greater potential spring travel? This D shaped socket barrel appears at first glance to be very sucepticble to over bending and thus loosening of the contact. Furthermore would a...

    Resistance heating of electrical connectors?

    Its basically a D-Type Sleeve Connector Pin Socket. I guess you could say it is similar to a grounding pin socket on a polarized plug adapter. I'm not sure where I can post a photo for this. I'll see if I can find a link to the vendor or an online image of it. thanks, Phil

    Resistance heating of electrical connectors?

    Does anyone know where to find some good information and data on the phenomena of resistance heating of electrical connections. I have an appliance product that is getting repeated overheating failures at its two pin power connection. The connection is often disconnected and reconnected. The...

    Algor V18 users manual or book?

    Can anyone help me find an Algor V18 users manual or book? I just purchased the program and found that to get the manual one would need to sign up for a training seminar with Algor. I noticed a few books on Amazon.com but they appear to be for V14 or older versions. Thanks, Phil

    Plassotech 3G Author or FEMdesigner?

    Does anyone have any experience with either Plassotech 3G Author or FEMdesigner? I am looking into both of these packages as options for FEA analysis as they appear to be a lot more affordable than most of what is out there. Thanks
