Is there a way to create a family table that will select different versions of components? My example is an assembly file of a bearing. The two components are the inner and outer rings. Each ring is defined as a family table component. How would I set up the assembly file family table so I...
I use planes to define the location of a bolt pattern on a flat plate frequently. If the plate is centered with respect to the 3 original construction planes, I offset 2 additional planes to the location where I want my bolt pattern center to be. I then create an axis at the intersection of...
I am trying to model a thin strip of metal that angled about 45 degrees from horizontal. It is loaded along the top long edge, and is constrained at intervals along the bottom long edge. I am trying to see how the metal bows out at the ares where it is not constrained. I created surface...
I am looking to dispense a fluid at 520 degrees F (271 C). I would prefer to use a positive displacement pump that is capable of 3000 micro-liter deposits (+/- 10%).
The viscosity is 25-60 P at that temperature.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks,
Tony
I am running Mechanica 2001 and importing Unigraphics models to perform thermal analyses (could be IGES also). How can I make 2 or more bodies of different materials contact each other and transfer heat between each other? I know it can be done if Mechanica and ProE are linked, but I don't have...
I am researching the effectiveness of solar screens versus solar window tinting. I have heard convincing arguments from both sides (both are companies that sell these products). Their application will be in central Texas.
I would like a more objective analysis and suggestions. Can anyone...

Has anyone worked with the new solids CAD package called Alibre? Their price is amazing ($495) and according to them, it will do everything that Solidworks and Inventor do, but at 1/10 the price. I'm thinking of purchasing this software so any comments/suggestions would greatly help.
Thanks,

I have read that gray cast iron has "good" damping characteristics. However, I cannot find any numbers to back this up. Does anyone have information on the damping characteristics of gray cast iron and if possible, granite (the type used in surface plates)?
Thanks,
Tony
