I have been handed a project that is outside my comfort zone.
A 3-phase 2hp motor that drives a conveyor stops and starts frequently to control product flow. Each time the motor starts the amp draw spikes to approximately 6 x FLA for say 1/2 second. It then levels out to around 1/2 FLA for...
Can anyone tell me if magnetic power is additive or something else? If I have a flat magnetic sheet and I add a second sheet does the magnetic attraction to surrounding objects double?
I hope someone can help me. I am trying to use TablePatternFeatureData and can't seem to get the sintax to work. I want to use PointArray or LoadPointsFromFile, but neither will work even if a copy the code from the SolidWorks help file.
I am new to Pro/Mechanica and I have a question that may be basic. Is there a way to automate repetative tasks such as running a sensitivity study. If I'm running a structural analysis of a wheel I want to run a basic loading six times each at 15 degree increments without baby-sitting the PC...
My company is loking at getting some small tanks stamped out of SS. Our primary choices are 304L or 316NL. As I understand it, 304 is fairly springy and requires a lot of extra attention. 321 handles very similarly to mild steel, but is more difficult to obtain and also conciderably more...
I am working through the bearing life expectancy calcs for the bearings in the wheels of a motorcycle. The standard L10 calcs are straight forward enough. However, I'm interested if anyone has any tire/wheel impact capacity calculations or specs that I can use.
Any insights or assistance would...
I have been tasked with developing an analysis of the needs of our engineering department. Positions, talents, additional training or personnel. Does anyone have a good template or instructions for such an analysis? I don't want to inadvertantly skip something.
Thanks in advance.

Does anyone know where I can find a chart that shows fastener toqueing capacity based on the type of head (i.e. SHCS, Flat, button, Hex, etc.)?
Any help would be appreciated.

Does anyone know how to open a specific drawing with VBA? I have a VBA program in Excel that can open AutoCAD 2005, but I can't find the proper command and syntax to open a specific drawing. Everything works fine if I manually open the drawing and then run the macro, but I need it to be fully...
I have a vb.net application that I am writing that opens and processes an Excel speardsheet and then prints out the antire workbook. I also have as seperate worksheets within the excel file several AutoCad drawings that were inserted as WMF's with variable dimensions being filled in. The...
I have an application where we have a urathane bead sewn onto a belt. To make the belt endless we have standard clipper lacing on the belt, but the bead in currently "welded" using a heating element and special vice.
I am looking for an adhesive that could take the place of the welding...
I'm curious if anyone is using VB.NET for SolidWorks API programming. I saw a post from Sept'03 with no affirmative responses. Has anyone moved on to VB.Net since then? I ran my code throught the VB.Net wizard and I am now left with a lot of error messages each time I try to run it.
I assume...
Does anyone have a formula that can be used to determine the proper tension in a chain conveyor. Or in other words, how high should I be able to lift the chain off of the top of the carry wearstrip.
The conveyor is 90" long carrying a 500lb load on two strands of RC60.
I'm looking for a slot bolt that is really nothing more than a 1/2-13 x 1 1/2" carriage bolt with the sides of the head removed down to the square shoulder.
Can anyone offer any suggestions?
I am trying to calculate the output torque of a reducer based on the the input horsepower. For instance the Dodge gear book tells me that at 1750 input RPM a Size 200, 30:1 gearbox has an output torque of 624in-lbs with a .83 input horsepower. If I use a std 3/4 hp motor what would be the...
