A customer whats me to have there logo machined into a part we are making for them. They can only provide me with a bitmap. I've asked and they say they don't have it as a dfx, dwg or any other drawing file. Is there any way to use the bitmap, or do I have to trace around the features by...
Is there a way to get solidworks to automatically date drawings when printing or saving to PDF? It would be useful to know when drawings were last modified.
Hi,
I have a design that calls for a sheet of laminated shim stock. The shims are located in a bolted joint and used to adjust freeplay. The shim stock is 16 laminations .002" think for a total thickness of .032". McMaster part #9720K16. I need to cut a shim that has a 20" OD, 16" ID, and...
I've been running SW05 for 4 months without a hitch. Yesterday it started crashing.
Details:
OS: XP pro service pack 2
Video card: Nvidia GeForce FX5700LE
Was running SW SP 0.0
This morning downloaded SW SP 0.1
I've been trying to get some drawings out the door. Talking to SW tech support...
I need to make drawings with a first angle projected view. That part is simple enough. What I can't fine is the first angle projection symbol so I can mark my drawings as such. Any thoughts.
If I upgrade to a newer version of Solidworks, do I need to update my COSMOSWorks as well? Currently running 2003, but am thinking of upgrading to solidworks 2005, do I need new cosmos as well?
Hello,
I posted this in the Solidworks Products forum as well, but perhaps someone here can answer me.
I am looking to purchase a FEA progam. Cosmos is very attractive since I already have Solidworks. Can anyone tell me if I can batch run load cases in cosmos? I am familiar with the design...
Hello,
I am putting together a small gear drive and would like to use helical gears to keep it quiet. The only off the shelf gears I can find have a 45degree helix angle. The load is small enough, and the shafts are mounted on large enough bearings that I have no problem dealing with the...
Hello,
Looking to purchase a FEA progam. Cosmos is very attractive since I already have Solidworks. Can anyone tell me if I can batch run load cases in cosmos? I am familiar with the design tables in Solidworks and am hoping there is something similar in Cosmos. I would like to set up...
Hello, I am looking for a reference as to how fast I can spin helical gears based on their size. The only info I have found is a statement in my Mechanic Design Handbook that says if the Pitch Line Velocity goes above 2000 ft./min., cooling should be considered. Any good sources of on this, or...
Does anyone know if parts can be preloaded in cosmos. I want to simulate stretch bolts. Can Cosmos due this, or due I need to change the modulus of elasticity to simulate this?
I am looking to have a large flywheel dynamicaly balanced. The flywheel is ~36 inchs in diameter and weighs close to 1000 lbs. Anybody know if there are shops that can balance flywheels this large. Maybe in the shipbuilding world? Any leads would be helpful.
Thank you
