I am looing for some material properties on A106B steel tubing. I founnd a source that has the tensile strength, but I am specifically looking for bearing and shear. Thanks in advance.
I created a simply tube made up of plate elements and ran two buckling cases:
1. One end is fixed
2. One end is pinned
Now according to Eulers simple equation for linear buckling, the effetive length changes with the type of constraint. In Nastran, both cases yield the same eigenvalue. Am...
I have a question on heat treating 6061 from T4 to T6. I have the information on what temperature to bake the metal to. After 8 hrs, do you simply open the door and allow it to air cool or leave the oven door closed to get a more gradual cooling process? Thanks.
Is there a way to add different material properties to the material database within SW (i.e. shear strength)? I have learned my way around the .sldmat file but cannot figure out what the 'Name' should be. For example:
<ALPX displayname="Thermal Expansion Coefficient" value="0.000011"/>
What...
I am trying to print the FlexGrid I just created. I know the syntax is:
VSFlexGrid1.PrintGrid
After the .PrintGrid you can specify the title, orientation, ect. I am trying to change the orientation from portrait to landscape and cant figure out how to do it. Thanks in advance for any help...
I am trying to find an exmple of how to create an Imagelist. I have been trying to figure out the syntax with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.

Is it possible to create a tree in the light version of VSFlexGrid? I have located some documentation on C1FlexGrid by was wondering if that was specific to the full version. Thanks
Is there a simple way to create a TreeView that has the FlexGrid embedded in it? I know there are controls out there that you can purchase, but surely our friends at microsoft have something already in VBA (or possibly VB)?
This seems simple enough but it isnt working the way I want it to. I am trying to have the user select a holedimension, hit a hot key, select the type of note they wish to use for the hole (csink, cbore, etc) and be done with it. I have gotten everything working expect for the adding of the...
Before upgrading to SW2005, I am creating a 'batch update' macro that will load all of the default templates using the following code:
Dim swApp As Object
Dim Part As Object
Dim retval As Integer
Sub main()
Set swApp = Application.SldWorks
Set Part = swApp.ActiveDoc...
I am trying to create a tapered beam element and keep receiving an error stating 'SKIPPING SHEAR AREAS AT SECOND END OF BEAM PROPERTY 1'. I tried changing the taper ratio to see if I violated a parameter with no luck. Thanks in advance for any help.
I just need a quick sanity check to make sure I remember what I learned in my strengths of materials course. In order to determine if a part will fail under a static combined loading case, you first must calculate the principle stresses and apply a failure theory such as distortion-energy to...
I am trying to calculate the induced compressive stress due to a dowel pin being press fit into a plate. I know that it has to do with the relationship between the different E values but am having some difficulty with translating this into an equation that will give me the stress. Thanks in...
This is a simple clamping force problem that I just want to be sure I am envisioning it correctly. If you have a plate with one bolt in it torqued to a value X, the clamping force will be Y. If you then add 3 more bolts torquing them all to the same value X, the total clamping force will still...
I am trying to create a treeview of all the components and parts in an assembly. Listed below is the code I used (straight from SW help) and I am wodering why it will only go 2 levels deep. In other words, if you have a part in a subassembly it will return 'SubAssy1/Part1' rather than breaking...
I remember reading a while back that there was an update to vba that allows a user to use CommonDialog. I cannot create this control since it is 'not properly licensed.' Any one know how to resolve this? Thanks in advance.
