Hello
I am looking for a material that will fail without work hardening during operation. The application is a failsafe piece that can break to prevent damage to other more expensive equipment. The operation is fairly rough and ready with shock loading and potential impact. Based on that the...
Hello
Is there a standard methodology for calculating the theoretical minimum bend radius of composite rod. I have a spoolable 10 mm dia rod and I want to know what the minimum drum diameter that i can spool it onto is.
Ultimately I want to use this formula to run a numerical optimization to...
I have a cylindrical part that is showing a shaded cosmetic thread on the OD. I have tried deleting all my cosmetic threads and it is still there. Has anybody had this problem before?
I am working on a check valve that has an o-ring in a groove on a conical (30deg) face and uses a spring to energize the seal. Does anybody know how I can estimate the required force (hence which spring to use) to energise the o-ring seal.
I have an assembly that has several configurations, all of which are the same assembly in different positions. In my assy drawing the BOM is coming in with the configuration name and qty. Is there a way to change the cell to display "qty" only and omit the configuration name. I have tried...
I am working on a problem that invloves a threaded tubular that is situated vertically with the lower end being screwed into a base part, the upper end of the tubing is blanked off. I am trying to analyse the effect the bending moment caused by the wind will have on the integrity of the...
Hi, I recently changed jobs and am now using Solidworks as opposed to Pro/E and have what I think will be an easy question for more experienced Solidworks users:
What creating a drawing in Pro/E I could add dimensional properties (ie a length) to a note by adding its name with an & prefix to a...
I have created a simple revolved feature, however when I insert it into a part it can only be orientated one way. I imagine that there will be an easy fix for this, but unfortunately I cannot find it. To create the library feature I used the OD of the base cylinder as a reference, then also used...
