    PCM Material Source

    Does anyone have any information on a provider of unpackaged phase change material? I am looking for something with a 70C to 80C melting point. It is for an electronics application so I don't need huge bricks of material. Thanks. Brian

    Direct read of IDEAS data

    Is there a lower end MCAD package, e.g. Solid Edge, etc..., that can read native version 7 IDEAS model files? As part of a business acquisition my company inherited an archive of legacy IDEAS part files but did not get the IDEAS software. Any thoughts?

    Inventor 7/8 read DWG assy's

    I have seen demos of Inventor 7 and have played with Inventor 8 and see a good product that fits its billing, especially in the area of reading legacy information. I read in a MDT V6 assembly and was 100% successfull on all parts. The main housing came through with the complete feature tree and...

    SolidWorks vs Inventor

    Just viewed demos of SolidWorks and Inventor and was impressed with both. I have 6+ years of Autocad and MDT legacy data to work with so that is an issue. What puts SolidWorks ahead? eDrawings is impressive? Relative ease of use, but Inventor seemed close. General code robustness? Is...

    Inventor vs SolidWorks

    Just witnessed a demo of Inventor 7 and was suitably impressed. I have 6+ years of legacy Autocad and MDT data and it was imported without incident. Is it a stable program? Is it really as easy to learn as it appears? What am I missing?

    Electronics Package FEA - software opinions

    It seems that there are a number of good solutions out there for PCB package design. Need SS and transient thermal and linear stress and vibration. Any opinions on their relative performance? Options seem to be for the non-daily user, Ansys Cosmos Algor TAS ?? Thanks.

    Solid Edge and electronics packaging

    How is Solid Edge when performing electronics packaging. Items of specific interest are, - Sheet metal design. - Cable harness generation. - Cable harness documentation. Geometry is not exotic but cabling in 3D can be very messy. Also, am considering a migration from MDT4. How is the import...

    SolidWorks and electronics packaging

    How is SolidWorks when working on electronics packaging? Issues specifically are, - Wiring harness creation. - Wiring documentation. - Drawing creation issues. - PCB import. Geometry is not exotic but assembly modeling can be messy if forced to go full 3D.
