Hi,
I need some advice on how to enlarge some current holes in a 41340 steel part.
The part is a plate with a series of small hole in, varying from 0.030" through to 0.060". The person who designed it, who is no longer working for us, had the machinist drill the holes using a regular drill...
We are creating a proposal to introduce CFD into our company.
We do a lot of work for racing teams and as part of our design consultancy program, they are asking for some flow visualization.
Some of the jobs they ask are for individual component modeling, i.e. radiator inlets. We already have...

Our CNC machines are running Mastercam 8.1 and read the .dxf...
Hi All,

Anyhow? Is there an external thread feature in Solidworks 2k5 01.1? Is it a 3D sketch feature or a Helix/Spiral base...
Hi All,
We are designing some support stays, w/ rod ends on each end and have a question about thread design. What radius should you put on an externally threaded part after the thread has been completed to avoid crack propogation? We have a 10/32 thread in this example...(Incidentally the...
