Hi Materials Gurus,
I am looking for an insulating foam for a hot water boiler application. We have used polystyrene but it is borderline for the temperature requirement.
1. Needs to be ok for continuous use temp of 100degC - or slightly higher.
2. Needs to be moldable with a less...
Hi Guys,
I am a mechanical design engineer at a company that manufacture commercial filter coffee brewing equipment and hot water boilers.
I apologise in advance for a 'not well posed problem' due to my lack of EE background but here goes.
We have been seeing some burnouts between the heater...
Hi all,
I have a water heating theory question that is hurting my head a bit.
Scenario:
1. Say I have two water storage tanks - one of 10L one of 5L.
2. The tanks have a secondary sealed surround - filled with PUF insulation so the only method of cooling is via conduction (rough assumption but...
Hi all,
I am looking at a heat exchanger question in my new job for the first time since 3rd year of my Mech Eng Degree (about 9 years ago!). Anyway I have done some reading and the scenario I am dealing with is fairly simple but I'm still unsure on a few things. Here goes at trying to explain...
Hi there,
just wondering if anyone had come across any facial and internal mouth Solidworks CAD models in their travels? Its for a medical product development and not sure if it will be useful but just wanted to check if that kind of thing existed.
Thanks

howdy all,
I have a conceptual problem with how to make PDMworks cope with the preferred designing method at the company I work for.
As background we mainly work on individual and descrete industrial design projects of a smallish size with usually less than 50-60 parts.
Firstly when an idea...
Hi all,
Doing some testing with COSMOSworks (after toying with xPress a little) for the first time - going through tutorials and doing as much web scanning of any relevent tips I can find.
One issue I have is that on a part I can apply a mesh control to locally reduce the mesh size however if...
Hi all,
This is a first time in a few years (since about 2nd year uni!) I have to look at materials properties in detail. I have been doing a bunch of research into a few Polypropylene (20% GF and MF) and Nylon 6 (30% GF)materials for a particular application. What I have been finding though is...
Howdy,
I have been doing a bunch of reading on GD n T through James Meadows' text. It has been definitley a good buy as the more I read it the more I seem to understand on the matter (I think!).
However, I am working on a project were the client wants a quality drawing showing a plastic button...
Hi All,
I work at a small design company of about 4 SW users. PDMworks was purchased earlier in the year - which I am attemting to implement. I have done heaps of online learning from this website and others - not to mention all the help files and webcasts on the solidworks web pages. All of...
