Hi all, We have a piece of moving machinery operated hydraulically which works in an area with limited space. I am having a problem designing the routing of a -24 (1 1/2") flexible tube because the minimum bend radius (around 500mm for 210 Bar rated hose). If I were to split this -24 hose...

Hi all, Does anyone have any suggestions or know of published data on K factors for a machined hydraulic manifold block. What I am most interested in is a typical 90 degree bend (eg R/d = 0) created from boring into the block from different sides of block. Also, does standard 'equivalent...

Hi All, Have been toying around in my head for a day or so now a problem that can be simplified to that as shown here; http://www.mytempdir.com/868898 (note - drawn in 3rd Angle) With a load at G. My question is; If I am to model this with fixed ends that support a moment Mz by placing a...

Hi all, Making a drawing just now I accidently added a couple of rows too many in a revision table (SW standard table) and deleted them. Anyway now when I add a rev it wants to go from Rev B to Rev E. Anyone know where I can reset this? Dave

Hi All, I need to spec some components to price up and achieve the following; Get data from a Rotary encoder to a laptop for data gathering. This will be a field device (picture someone setting up a stationary wheel that touches an oscillating plate) recording the linear motion via the...

I have defined a camera view which has really poor performance in that the resulting image looks like the image quality when rotating a large assembly. ie, cylinders have become rectangular blocks. Smaller components are blobs. Large assembly mode is turned off and all other perfomance/image...

Hi all, We have a component that has been sent to us in .iges from a supplier. Bringing it into SW is no problem but a few of the surfaces don't match (quite a complex piece). Anyway SW can't heal them so there is a constant warninng "!" in the part. Is there any way to tell SW to ignore it...

Forgive what should be a basic question from a ACAd newbie; I am in paper space and and created (while experimenting) a view port that covers the whole sheet and 2 more that split the sheet vertically. How on earth do I now remove them - using "vports" and RMB on the only Named Viewport I can...

Hi all, A search of this website produced a few hits on the size of sockets but only up to M24 Size. Dows anyne have on hand the size of a M30 socket, particularly the external diameter? (~52mm accross flats). I am designing a casting with conterbored holes and need to ensure I can get the...

Hi All, When publishing an edrawing from within the SolidWorks environment (assembly) the colour of some components turn green - a bit like the "component selected" green in the edrawing. But if I open the Solidworks assembly in edrawings itself the colours are fine. Obviously not really a...

Fellow mobile users, I have just installed SW2006 (SP 3) and when editing dimensions in a sketch they look like they are drawn by a crayon. This got me thinking on what driver I have been using as I can't recall updating in some time. I tried the 71.84 the SW website recomends but this does...

Hi all, Having recently returned to Algor V18 (from V10) I am getting back to the basics. Anyway, I am having a devil of a time appling multiple forces onto a face. I want to apply a surface force in X and a surface force in y on the same face. If I apply a surface force in say x. I then...

Hi all, We have an application where we need to bore numerous holes into an existing concrete slab. Hold diameter will be ~40mm, Reinforcing may be present but structuraly not a problem if we go through it. Depth of about 200-300mm. Need to bore around 4 sets of 15 holes. Is a diamond...

Hi all, I am interested to know the true performance of a mooring line on large ships. For say a 350m LOA vessel; - What is the typical ability of a pretensioned winch - ie how much tension can they really put into a line. - When a mooring line is placed around a fairleads what is the...

Hi all, After a fruitless search of all the model sites I know about, does anyone have a model of an ISO container, 20' or 40' etc? High cube?

Hi there, I have been out of the welding spec game for some time now but have been asked for a genereal weld specification. Basically I am creating a welded column, flanges 20mm and web 25mm. Overall dimensions are 300x320mm. Parent material is grade S355J2 - so 355MPa yield. I don't imagine...

Hi all, We have an application where we need to contril 1" vacuum lines. Currently we are using pneumatic pilot operated angle seat valves with very good results. We ant to try and get rid of the need to have a compressed air circuit and associated parts (compressor/reciever etc). I am...

Hi, I am in the process if specifying welding standards in Europe. Machinery orgininally designed with the following: NZS3404 (~AS4100) Steel Structures Standard AS 3990 Mechanical equipment - Steelwork AS/NZS 1554.1 and 1554.4 Welding of steel structures and welding of heat treated...

Hi all, I have an application where pin joints are required. It is a marine environment so T316 bar is the ideal material for the pin. For a minimum yield strength of 220 MPa I need an annealed stainless, would the aforementioned T316N be readily machineable? Any comments would be greatly...

Hi all, I need to replace title blocks on a bunch of drawings. Its relative simple in that I have created a new sheet format and am changing the properties of the sheet and browsing to the new format. As I have to open all the drawings and make some changes anyway doing this manually is no...
