Hello all, Currently our ECN system is anitquated and needs to be updated. When we need to distribute our ECN packages we e-mail it our to people on the routing list, but also need to have everyone sign it for evidence of communication. We would like to change to a system similar to outlook...

Hello Gents, I am attempting to create a stronger wire basket. I would like to use simulation to find the stress points for said basket. However I cannot get the program to mesh the model. I have created the model as one solid part. I have merged all bodies into one solid body. After the comp...

What is the difference between all Engineering levels? Like Engineer I, Engineer II, Engineer III, Engineer IV? Someone told me I need to have a paper certification to be considered any of these. So does that mean there are tests to be passed for these qualifications? Any info you people would...

Here at work we deal alot with welding wires together. Well my quality engineer is trying to develop a way to show that a certain weld set down will resist to a certain torque without breaking or showing fatigue. I am sure there are equations for this and handbooks, but have not found such yet...

I have been in engineering for about two years now. I am a pretty good designer and would like to advance my careers now. I am in Oklahoma and the best jobs for the surrounding area are for Drilling Engineers, Pump Engineers, or Pressure Vessel Engineers. I would like to get into the pressure...

I need a double check of my math to make sure I am getting the right number. As you will see in the picture point A is a fixed point wheel axle which line AC is free to rotate about point A. Point B and C are also wheel axle points. When line AC is horizontal Wheel C collides with the...

I am trying to link a value to a variable in the equations menu. I have successfully linked one dimension to the same variable, but I tried to link a dimension of a plane angle to it. The message of "Incompatible Range of values make these dimensions unlinkable" pops up and won't let me link. I...

I am creating a drawing for a wire framed part. I am creating it using weldment features and the weldment cutlists. When I get to the drawing with the actual cutlist I have four parts that are basically identical. However they are not the same at the 6th decimal place and therefore on the...

Hello Folks I am a newbie when it comes to Cosmos and am trying to do some static testing for wire welded trays. I have been able to do point force static testing in the Cosmos, but it never seems to come out right. What could simulate that better? I have also simulated a plate...

Has anyone been in any design competitions? Do they hold them annually? I have been in a real design mood lately and have been wanting to know about some of these competitions. The only ones I have found are for high schoolers or undergrad college students. I would love to have some extra...

I am trying to design ribs for a sheet metal piece. I would like to have the sheet metal stamped out when it is flat then formed. Does anyone know how to simulate that in SW. I am also trying to do indent features and can successfully do it when the shape is a square, but when I change the shape...

trying to remote in Cosmos from one machine so that multiple people can use Cosmos at different times. I have a good connection with the remote computer itself, when I start Cosmos it fails. "CosmosWorks Authorization failed Please check License Administration Tool in the CosmosWorks...

Does anyone have a good suggestion for a Cosmos Works help book? All the engineers here have not run Cosmos in the past, but we are all trying to learn. Plus the bosses have demanded that we start using Cosmos in everything. Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know where I can get some wire diagrams for Maytag electric motors? David Engineer Arrow Engine Tulsa, OK

I need to know how to better select an evaporator or AC unit. I am trying to cool water, but not sure about how to go about that. The hot temp is about 140deg F and the cold temp is about 85deg F. I need to figure out how to make that drop through either an AC exchanger or evaporator, but not...

How can I learn to better specify heat exchangers? I need to know how to show heat change for exchangers of all types. All I have is a regular heat transfer book that doesn't go into much detail. Any help would be nice.

I have been designing elliptical gears in Solid Works and have been using it without the use of gear trax. I have most of it completed but they do not mesh correctly. I believe it is because of the pitch addendum positions. I have seen many circular gear equations, and have modified them the...

Hello Everyone, I need to design a pump for chemical metering, but I need a list of materials that this chemical is compatable with: Isothiazalone Glutaformaldehyde. Any thoughts on this would be very helpful. It does not seem to register with most sites. These people are very specific...

Hello Gentlemen, I am trying to model an elliptical gear on Solid Works. I have tried about three appoaches and have not been able to even the teeth out for proper meshing. Any help would be great.
