My company has a product which uses thin (0.003") 316 st/st disks and we form them with a die. A recent shipment came in and the hardness of the steel was higher than previously and cannot be formed without major re-tooling. The hardness was Rc32 (according to the cert)
The vendor claims that...
I want to weld two parts together on a rotary tig-welder, and one of the components will have a bonded strain gage on it, which can see up to 500 degrees F for a short time before it starts to degrade.
I wish to conduct a thermal analysis to see what the temperature of the part would be after...
I'm trying to simulate a steel sphere falling from a specified height and landing on a plastic rectangle so see the stresses on the rectangle.
Can this type of analysis be done with the Drop Test mode? Or are we limited to dropping a part or assembly onto a planar "floor"?
Any feedback would...
Hello,
Does anyone know a way to have one of the PDMWorks check-in attribute labels (e.g. the description)appear in the file name?
Specifically, I would like to see in my assembly tree not just the part number that the file is named, but the description field from PDM Works.
Example:
File...
Does anyone have experience modeling the behavior of a belleville spring under compressive load? I would like to determine the force at which the spring actuates, or perhaps buckling is the correct term.
Should I perform a buckling analysis? I can run experiments to determine now well reality...
Hello!
I'm having a semi major problem with DWG editor (2006 SP1.0)...
In most cases, when I open up a .dwg file (created with all realeases of ACAD from R14 up to 2006) through DWG editor directly, the program crashes and shuts down.
If I open the same files from Windows Explorer they open up...
Hello,
I am still learning Cosmos and I'm having a problem that I hope is just my own ignorance and not a shortcoming in the software...
I am trying to qualitatively reduce the influence of installation torque on a strain-gage sensor. In order to do this, I'm adding a stress relief notch on...
Does anyone know where I can download some goofy Solidworks models? I'm presenting to the sales/marketing force for my company tomorrow and I wanted to break the ice in the beginning with a solid model of something funny... Like a model of Mickey Mouse's head, or equivalent silliness.
Thanks!!!!
Hello! I'm very new to this industry and I was wondering if anyone has advice on how to call out a welding of two 316L tube fittings for Ultra-High Purity applications on a drawing.
Thanks!
I'm very new to Cosmosworks, but seasoned in Pro Mechanica. My new job uses Cosmos so I've been trying to get used to it.
Is there a way to create cylindrical coordinate systems and look at the radial and tangential stresses relative to this user defined coordinate system? I know I can use a...
