Hi Fellow CADers,
I'm search for a reliable source for training videos for SolidEdge. I'm coming from a SolidWorks background, but my new job uses Solid Edge. I've begun some of the tutorials, but I would like to minimize my startup time with this program. I'm fine with paying for the videos if...
Hi, I've created a complete assembly for my design in Solidworks 2010 that I would like to make a copy soley for FEA in solidworks simulation. Instead of running the simulation on the original assembly, I would like to make a copy so that I can define a few artificial surfaces to define...
Hi,
I'm trying to figure out how to put a counter-bored hole on an inclined surface that isn't normal to that surface. Instead, the hole is normal to another surface below the inclined surface.
Does anyone know how I can do this easily?
thanks,
windell
Hi, Is been really painful defining each bolt connector for each hole in an assembly that I'm performing a static FEA test.
Does anyone know of a way to define a connector for a set of holes at once instead of defining them one at a time?
Thanks,
Windell
Hi, I just did a new install of solidworks on my PC and upon designing my first part, I attempted to assign Aluminum 6061 as its material. When I attempted to assign a material, I received the following error:
Access to c:\progra~1\solidw~1\solidw~1\lang\english\colorwatches\dull.sldclr was...
Hi,
I am looking to wrap a Lithium Polymer battery with some sort of material that resists battery acid. The idea is that if the battery leaks, the acid will not damage anything next to the battery.
I would like to use something that is off the shelf or I can buy online.
Does anyone have any...
Hi, I'm quite new to MATLAB and I am working on creating a 3D radiation pattern plot of an antenna that I am testing for a project. The purpose of the plot is really just to get a feel for the radiation pattern. I've already successfully created contour plots at various elevations by overlaying...
Hi, I'm in the process of turning my model into a drawing and I realize that my part is so large, that even if I fit the scale to my paper, that the details are hard to see. I understand that I could use detail, but I also realize that my piece is just a repeat of a hole pattern.
I'm fairly new...
Hi,
Here is my setup info
I'm gathering data on the radiation pattern of a dipole I recently built. My test setup uses two antennas in which a calibrated horn is transmitting to my dipole. Both transmit and receive antennas are connected to a network analyzer with the S-parameter test set. I...
Hi, I'm building a 1/2 wavelength UHF dipole for approxmately 434MHz and I'm currently searching for a high quality balun with low loss. The balun need not be wideband since transmission will occur only at 434MHz. The output from the radio will be at most 1W. 50ohm unbalanced to 100ohm balanced...
Hi, I'm looking for a single axis gyro that uses the I2C interface. I've done some searching and only found those that use SPI. Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,

Hi, I'm attempting to import a solidworks model into thermal desktop and then I would like to populate the surface with nodes.
I am new to this process and I have found some information through google, but I am wondering if anyone has done this before and would be able to point me in a clear...
I'm trying to sketch an L bracket that is made out of a thin piece of aluminum plate (~1/16th in). It has only one bend and one each face on either sides of the bend has holes in them. The corners of the L bracket have fillets to round off the corners.
I was just trying the sheetmetal tutorial...
I'm new to solidworks and I'm attempting to manually assign the CG location of a part. I would also like to assign a mass to the part. The part was imported in the iges format and was saved as a part. I've tried to modify the values under tools->mass properties, but when i change the values and...
