Curious if there are any coatings out there that will bond well to aluminum and provide excellent elextrical resistance, upwards of 150 kilovolts? Thanks!
I'm hoping a few of the more experienced safety code fellows can lend some insight here. My company and I are trying to get an understanding of what the cost will be for us to get approval from ATEX, FM, CE, UL, and CSA for an electro-mechanical device to be used in an explosive environment...
I have a series of concentric sleeves that pilot onto one another via their OD surfaces, and then engage with a fine pitch thread. I'd like to coat the entire part, with emphasis on coating the threads to prevent gallling and also providing a hard, low friction surface for the pilot surfaces...
When saving the plot as a PDF document, is there a way to change the automatic filename process that Wildfire is doing? Currently it just uses the filename of the drawing file, but I'd like to add a revision letter to the filename for archive purposes. Our part and assembly files have a...
Have not yet taken the Pro/Mechanica course, but was hoping to find a good text I could buy and read/teach myself the program. I have a background in Mechanical Engineering and 4 or 5 years of Pro/E use, so I don't need a novice text - but would like to find a text that explains the basics of...
I have a case where I am bolting a piece of hardware to a plate. I created one 1/4-20 threaded hole, and patterned the hole to match the 4-bolt pattern on the hardware. I need to place this piece of hardware 4 places on the plate. I'd like to have the ability to pattern the pattern I just...
I've been using Pro/Mechanica fairly succesfully for the past few months and now need to analyze a frame structure that is essentially a backbone of 2'x4' slab of steel, held up with gusset pieces to a base. There are some masses cantilevered off the backbone, and all the parts are bolted...
Is it possible to create a helical sweep and have it follow a datum curve or perhaps even go through points like a pipe would?
I'm trying to create a mechanical spring that will be bent in a few directions. Not sure what the best approach is for this. It actually is a continuous length...
Still on the brainstorming side of a design, thinking about connecting an electric motor to a driveline via pulleys and v-belts. Looking at a 1:1 ratio between the two pulleys (no dia. size picked out yet) running at 3600 RPM at about 10 to 12 kilowatts. Little weary about going this route as...
In particular, I am looking for a single barb design for a 1/8" hose, very low pressures.
Thanks!
(Haven't had much luck searching for a website that list standard hose barb sizes.)
Company I work for now often works with windings, and by that I mean wire wrapped around various shaped objects, creating coils. Not always round tubes, sometimes squares or odd-ball shaped objects.
What I have been doing is to use a trajectory and then creating an extrusion along that...
What has everyone used or done for the coloring scheme of Wildfire? I'm trying to stay with the new scheme and not be an old fart and just jump to the pre-Wildfire colors option I saw in the menus. But, some of the colors are just hard to see. The font itself is a bear to work with as well...
