    Thickness is not defined in one or more shell

    Hi, I am working on static analysis of a solid body. I have defined the material etc. But there is one warning sign due to which the simulation is not done. The warning sign is "Thickness is not defined for one or more shells". I checked my FeatureManager tree but there is no shell feature...

    pattern in a wavy line.

    Hi, I want to create pattern of some "circular section" in a spline(wavy). I can do linear pattern or circular pattern but I can not pattern my feature on some wavy line(spline). Is there any way to do it. I have uploaded a picture of the part that I am trying to create model. I appreciate...

    2 parts, Subtract 1 part from another part

    Hi, I have 2 parts. I want to subtract one part from another part. Basically I want to remove part 1's material from part 2 because in the assembly part1 will be inside part 2. Part 1 solid is very complicated and I do not want to go through the same features in the part 2 solid. I just want to...

    sheet metal closed corner

    I have a rectangular sheet metal part. I have done edge flange on four sides. Each flange is separate from another. How can I join the corner side of 2 nearby flanges? Any help will be highly apppreciated. Thanks,

    clearance

    Hi, I have to design a plastic reciprocating pump. Cylinder size is 3.126+/- 0.001. I will have to decide the piston size. I have already designed the O rings from the standard guides. I am not able to find any reference on piston cylinder clearance. Any help will be highly appreciated. I saw...

    sheet metal closed corner

    Hi, I am trying to use "closed corner" between two edge flange. Every time it says "one of the face is corrupt". I angled the flanges but it still doesn't work. I tried to edit the flange sketchs so that faces going further away( but bottom edge touches) and still I am having the same problem...

    Thread

    Hi, I want to display one internal thread in a pipe. I define the cosmetic thread but it displays very bad. I can control the major diameter and depth of the thread. I am not able to control the pitch. Is there any option that I am missing. I would appreciate if someone can help me. Thanks,

    Deformation modeling

    Hi, I am trying to simulate the deformation of an assembly. I have two parts in the assembly. One hard part and one rubber part. Their surfaces are in touch. I applied the fixed boundary codition on the other surface of the rubber. There is pressure on the other surface of the hard part...

    Split bodies.

    Hi, I am just wondering if there is any tool just opposite of combine. I can see there is one option call "split". This does not solve my problem. In my solid part model I draw different features of solid bodies. Once they are in contact they merge and make one single body. Now I want to...

    Surfaces tutorial help

    Hi, I was going through the solid work online tutorial help. There is one tutorial call "surfaces" where one nozzle is created. The problem is that when I sketch it from scratch I can not create the Nozzle grip and "exit nozzle" profile as it is written in the tutorial( by surface sweep). If I...

    Problem in creating surface sweep

    Hi, I am trying to sweep one elliptical edge(ellipse) along another line. When I go for surface sweep tool(insert-->surface-->sweep) I can select the elliptical edge as profile but I can not select the line as path. My elliptical edge and line for path are on different planes. I sketch the...

    Problem in creating Circular pattern

    Hi, I am not able to create the circular pattern of the spike in a steering wheel. I have defined one spike and one main axis. In the circular pattern feature manager when I try to select the main axis it does not select it. Is there anything wrong in defining the main axis? I just defined...

    Placing "LID" in the model

    Hi, I am trying to simulate simple pipe flow using solidworks and Flow works. In solid work I model one pipe by simple extrusion process. When I open this model in the floworks a cubical volume is considered for the computational domain. I do not want to consider the outside of the pipe. How...
