    Stud shear strength

    Hello, I'm looking to solve an internal shear strength problem. I have 1/4-20 all thread stud inserted into a cast aluminum part. I can calculate the shear strength of the aluminum. What I need is a website, book, anything that I can give to my boss that can explain the facts on course...

    Determining blower CFM

    How can I determine the output CFM of a blower? I know the horsepower of the motor, outlet size and fan diameter. What else do I need and how do I figure out the volume flow rate? Thanks.

    Easy Floworks question

    Hello everyone. How can I hide the parameter scale when viewing cut plots or trajectories? On a side note, anyone going to SWW2006? Thank you.

    Aero HP equation

    Hello all, What is the equation for aero horsepower? I'm trying to calculate the required aero hp to move a hood scoop on a race car. I'm using CFD but the drag force numbers I'm getting are wacky. I'm using Floworks, apply a surface goal to the scoop, apply an equation goal calculating the...

    Printing multiple drawings

    How can I print multiple drawings without opening each individual drawing? I've got 80 prints I need to print and I don't want to open each one. Thanks.

    Floworks locking computer

    When I start a new Floworks calculation my computer locks up. I go to the task manager and the system idle process is using 99-100% of the cpu. It always does it when Floworks stores the initial flow. Any ideas? Thanks

    Ideal computer for FloWorks

    What does everybody think the ideal computer would be to run FloWorks? I do mostly external analysis on thin bodies (.085" thick) and the mesh generates around 1,000,000 cells. What computer will do this in a timely fashion? Thanks!

    More Floworks help

    I have had several unsuccessful attempts at obtaining results from my model. My model is not that complex but the CPU time is sooo slow. I'm lucky if I get 1-5 iterations in a 2 to 3 hour period. I've set the gap size at 1 or 2 and reset the computational domain to better fit my model...

    FLoWorks help

    I need some help with COSMOS FLoWorks. I'm doing external flow analysis with questionable results. FLoWorks is showing a drag force of 2 lbs on an object I know has around 70 lbs. When I show flow trajectories they flow thru the body and not around. It's like the body does not exist. It's...

    Curious...

    Do companies outsource any SolidWorks work? For example, could a company hire me to do assemblies and drawings on a part time basis from home? Has anyone ever done this? Thanks for any info...

    Assembly mating?

    Does anyone know how to get a part to follow a path with multiple radi? I can make one part tangent to a section on another part but it will only follow that radius when dragging. How can I get the part to follow the path if it has several bends and curves? Can it be done?
