We have a design that uses a NON-ISOLATED power supply. By this I mean that we generate 5VDC from 120VAC, but the local "ground" reference for 5VDC is the AC neutral.
This works fine when wired properly (120VAC HOT wired to the "HOT" terminal, neutral connected to the neutral terminal).
However...
I need to create a shell in Solidworks 2008. The current part is to be manufactured by rapid prototyping, but the production part is to be molded.
The outer surface is hemispherical, with both bosses sticking out and inward cuts. Originally I had created the hemispherical shell as a thin...
I hope this is not too "off topic" - it relates to composite molding, rather than composites themselves.
It is not clear to me if (and if so, WHY) bracing is necessary on a composite form when used with single sided vacuum bagging , but I'm told the mold will deflect if not braced. I'm told this...
How can I select all faces created by a planar section view?
I need to obtain the total cross-sectional area of face(s) (there may be more than one), which I know is available via the GetSectionProperties() function, but I haven't been able to determine how to select the faces on the section...
Within a macro, I need to acquire xyz info for "reference points" in a solidworks part. NOTE that this is "reference points" (i.e., points created with the tool on the reference geometry toolbar), NOT "sketch points". These points are not associated with any sketch (2D or 3D), and appear in the...
