Hello,
I am looking to make a custom material addition for GPO-3 (Glastic) in Autodesk Inventor so I can do some stress analysis. I am having a hard time finding all of the properties that Inventor would require for GPO-3 material. These are the properties that are required for the material...
Hello,
I am wondering how to compute the short circuit force that would be exerted on (3) aluminum bus bars within a 3 phase transformer. Here are the specs:
2750 kVA 3 phase transformer
HV voltage is 13200Y/7620
LV voltage is 600 Delta
LV current is 1528A
(3) LV bushings on right side of...

Hello,
I have a drawing that has a title block and border that I would like to save as a template to use for future drawings. Is there a way to remove the part reference in the drawing and just save the remainder (template/border) as the new title block template? I also want to make sure I...
Hello,
I am wondering if there is a way in AutoCad Mechanical to create a command that prompts a user to input a single line of text (can be multiline as well) and after inputting the text, a rotation of text prompt is given. When the user puts in 90, 180, or 270, it will then prompt the user...

I have a SW model (attached) that was given to me recently. The request is to change all the inside bend radii to .125". When I go to change the sheet metal bend radius, it seems to always default back to 0.045". I've tried insering custom parametrs to get the radius to change, but it seems...
I have a Solidworks part that I would like some advice on how to flatten in Solidworks. Part file is attached. I've tried using the convert to sheet metal command and the rip command but am unable to create the necessary gaps for bending. This is in Solidworks 2017. Am I better off drawing...
Hello,
I am looking for some information regardng the differences between casting drawings and machining drawings. Specfically, what kind of tolerances are associated with various casting processes versus a machining process? Also, if I have a part that needs a casting and machining drawing...
I am looking to come up with a relationship between the thickness of a flat spring and the resultant spring rate. For this example, we will assume that width, length, and spring deflection are constant. The material properties of the flat spring is:
UNS G10950 (Pretempered Spring Steel)...
Hello,
I am looking for ways of moving a plate in an axial direction. There is a secondary plate that I want to move rotationally as well. There needs to be fine adjustment available so that a person can rotate the plate 1-2 degrees and lock in the location of the plate. The same holds true...
Hello,
I have an application where I need to make mold splits in Solidworks for some medical products. We'll be using MUD units with steel inserts, with 1/4" OD CAL rods through the mold base. There will be other hand-loaded inserts within the part(s) as well. What would be a good way of...
Hello,
I have an application where I need to linearly move a focusing lens (1mm diameter, 37.5 mm long) about the x, y, and z axis, as well as provide rotational freedom within a tube with an ID of 37.5mm (same as focusing lens length). I've looked at all the optics companies websites and they...
Hello,
I am using SW 2009 and have applied a decal to a certain surface. I would like to remove the old decal and put on a different decal. For some reason, I am having trouble removing the old decal. Is there a way to do this? Also, once you have applied the decal and closed the model, it...
I am looking to orient my assembly model (not the view) such that when I click on the "normal" icon, the model is correctly placed with the respect to the x, y, znd z axis. How would I go about doing this?
I am looking to do simulate thermal dissipation from an LED PCB with a large heat sink with fins. I was wondering if there was software (freeware or trial) that would allow me to accomplish this without having to upgrade to Solidworks Premium.
I was wondering if anyone had a basic PCB Solidworks model with all of the "guts" on it. I am putting together an assembly and want to insert a 3"x6" PCB model for illustrative (form and fit) purposes.
I have a number of models (SW 2009) that do not have the proper part template associated with them. The desired part template has all relevant information such as material, number of sheets, part number, etc. How do I copy this part config/template data to all of these models without having to...
