When I came out of college in 2010, I had a long and tough period of looking for work. I did not have any internship experience, which really made the job hunt difficult. Eventually I had offers from a major semi-conductor and a public utility (natural gas) corporation. This was 2010/2011 when...
I needed to get a screen shot of my solidworks assembly without the background. I saved the image as a tiff and checked the option to remove the background that will make it transparent. Once I saved the file, I attempted to use Photoshop to insert some other background. However, when I opened...
Just graduated with a MS in Mechanical Engineering and interviewed with this japanese company with a small office in the U.S.
The job description listed many things that an ME is qualified for, such as motors, electromechanical, CAD, and failure analysis. Primarily the job was to interact with...
I'm trying to do a simple transient analysis of conduction through 2 interfaces. My test run is basically 2 cubes of 100 mm length. One cube at an initial temperature of 1800K and the other with initial T at 273.15 K. Both using library material properties for AISI 4340 steel. After observing...
I'm working on a project to study the heat transfer of a connecting rod using comsol. Basically starting at a temperature above melting point of AISI steel 4340 and then cooling to room temperature. I'm using temperature dependent equations in my simulation; however, simulations show that it...
I've been e-mailing back and forth to my school's IT department trying to get Ansys 12 working. There were licensing issues before and now the program starts without a problem.
I can run regular Ansys with the classic interface without a problem; however, workbench is literally missing...
I'm atempting to model a stent. I have modeled one spiral so far and the steps were,
1. Draw a 16mm circle
2. Use the Helix/Spiral option to create the spiral
3. Draw a 0.2 mm circle and pierce the starting point of the spiral
4. Sweep the circle from step 3 with the spiral as the path.
I am...
I've trying to find the export to ansys option in inventor 2010. In the 2008 Version if you select stress analysis, there will be an option to export to Ansys. I need this option to create a DSDB file to use in ANSYS work bench.
I am trying to import a dxf file of a truss that I did in AutoCAD into Abaqus. The process works, but I cannot seem add to sections to the beams or assign a mesh. The imported dxf stays under the sketch option, but I need it in parts.
I was rummaging through one of my colleges labs looking for usable parts for my groups product design course. I found this medium size motor that weighed about 2-3 pounds. The problem is that there were no stickers at all that indicated its specifications. There were a few numerical engravings...
Alright I've been given the annoying task of getting price quotes of 2 chemicals, Trigonox 239A made by Akzo Nobel which is a catalyst, and 6% Cobalt Nap-all made by the OM Group which is a promoter. I still have no idea why the lab manager doesn't find it himself since I have to report back to...
