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...
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.
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...
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.
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
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!
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...
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...
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...
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?
