To All,
I'm going to post this on Solidworks forum as well but I figured I should try here too.
We recently purchased Floworks and are using it to thermally model an electronics project. Before we start using it for any projections on this design, we're testing its accuracy on small...
I'm a green engineer and am recreating some professionally done drawings (from ProE) in Solidworks and have encountered an issue. From what I can tell, Solidworks has no trapezoid balloon feature, just circle, triangle etc. This company that originally did the drawing used a trapezoid balloon...

We require 5 heat sinks with a 7"x5.5" footprint, <0.75" height, and a thermal resistance (natural convection) <1.3°C/W.
I've found several vendors including WAKEFIELD THERMAL SOLUTIONS, M&M Metals, Thermal-solutions, and Aavid Thermalloy. These vendors all either do not meet the physical...
I have to create a drawing to a client. This drawing is of a plate with the holes we added.
