    5754 - how far above yield/proof

    We have an aluminium wall that is meant to withstand a pressure load of ~160MPa, total of around 1000 cycles in its lifetime. Originally the idea was to go with 6082 T6 and thus be able to remain below the yield/proof stress (220-250 for the T6). However, the part needs to be bent and during...

    helicoil on Aluminium

    I must be missing something obvious here but what extra benefit will a helicoil on a standard 5000 or 6000 series aluminium give (or any other insert that is simply tapped on a weaker material for that matter), compared to tapping directly on the AL plate? In both cases you have a connection...

    aluminium alloy for thin pressure vessel

    Hello, I am working on an aluminium pressure vessel design application with one very thin area of (ideally) 0,5-1mm thickness. With such thicknesses even 0.5-1bar of differential pressure is too much for traditional 5000 or 6000 alloys so naturally I turned towards 7000 and in particular 7075...

    Cloud point to surface/volume?

    Hi, I have recently been sent an .STL laser scan file that I have to work with. I would like to create a usable volume or closed surface out of it. As a first step it seemed reasonable to import the STL in DSE and take it from there. However, after messing around with the available commands in...
