    plastic recommendation

    Does anyone have a recommendation for a type of plastic that can be injection molded, be FDA/NSF compliant and UL94 V-0 classified? Low cost is also preferred. Part quantities are in the 150,000/year and the part size is roughly Ø100mm x 75mm. Originally the part was spec'd as ABS/PC blend...

    translation into sine wave

    I have a reciprocating test table connected to a DAQ that outputs position sampled at the rate of 20 samples per second. The positional output is a range of values from 0 to 20 and over time a sample of 10 cycles is normal. I would like to graph this set of data in the form of a sine wave; 0...

    dimension display

    In NX4 I'm having difficulty with a displayed dimension. I have a dimension that is exactly .21418. When displayed as a two decimal dimension on the drawing, it shows as .22 until the view is updated. I don't know how to explain this behavoir and it now makes me question all the dims on all...

    pattern along helix

    In UG NX4, how can I pattern a cone (or any other design feature) along a helix? Imagine a 10" diameter cylinder, 36" long. I need a series of inverted cones (large diameter outward) patterned along a defined helix curve. There are actually about 150 of these cones, so modeling them...

    load options save error

    Using NX4 (without TC) when I change load options, specifically search directories, and hit the save button, I get: Unexpected failure 1020014 from save defaults and none of the changes are saved. Anyone seen this before? It gets annoying having to define search directories every time an...

    display circles not ovals

    In Autocad 2002, how do I adjust the display to show circular circles (not ovals)? I remember doing this a long time ago, but now can't seem to recall. I searched and found this contained in a query on the solidworks forum: Would someone please divulge this method? This is beginning to drive...

    format -> visible in view

    I'm using NX4, am learning UG and have never used any previous releases. Can someone explain the use of "visible in view" settings? Often, when dealing with a file, looking for some small glitch or other reason for a problem in a model, coworkers suggest toggling the visible in view settings...

    extra wide electrical tape

    Can anyone suggest a source for extra wide electrical (vinyl) tape? I'm looking for something in the 6"-8" width range. Color is unimportant. Thanks in advance.

    user defined symbol

    Will someone please tell me how to create a user defined symbol that can be used in appended text? I'm using NX4 and the help documentation is a little shallow on how exactly this is done. Thanks.

    training topics

    If management asked you what training would be beneficial to you as a day-to-day worker as well as career enhancement, what would you suggest? Please excuse software specific topics, ie AutoCAD, SW, UG... I'm asking about subject matter such as GD&T, FEA... I know this is broad, but I'm just...

    PVC & UL 94 flammability

    Does all PVC meet V0 requirements as set forth by UL 94 due to its self extinguishing properties or does it depend upon formulation/usage e.g. extrusion, molded, etc.? I know that additives are often used to make a thermoplastic meet the requirement but I'm not sure if the PVC that is V0 has...

    dimension leader side

    Is there a way to make the dimension leader side automatic in sketcher (NX4)? In other words, NX knows which side to place the leader on a dimension based on where I place the dimension. I find it annoying to have the leader line through the dimension and get tired of selecting dimensions and...

    alternative to clamping for flow restriction

    I have an application where a sping loaded clamp is used to shut off flow through 1/4" PVC tubing. The problem is that this clamp is in the clamped position for prolonged time and the tubing eventually deforms and retains the crimped shape affecting the flow characteristics when unclamped. Can...

    casting draft and machining specification

    I have a drawing of a part that defines its final geometry. This part is a casting and the current vendor both casts and machines the part. Some areas of the final part remain as cast. Any suggestions for a concise note: I need to say that draft angle is acceptable for casting purposes as long...
