I have a question on datum tolerances using stock material (in this case .100” aluminum sheet). My drafting department says we must qualify all datum surfaces. However, my manufacturing department says sheet material this thin will be difficult (impossible?) to maintain a certain flatness (I...
I have plastic (Delrin) pins that need to be press fit into holes on a fiberglass plate. How do I determine the tolerance for this? I assume the tolerance will be different than for metal press fit. Epoxy could be used as well, but would prefer to stick with a permanent press fit tolerance.
I need to override some titles of parts that are released in a drawing BOM and I can't figure out the relation needed to do so. I tried creating a new parameter as shown below:
desc1 = " "
if exists("asm_mbr_partnumber")
desc1 =...
I am rusty with my GD&T and usually have the manufacturing guys do it for me, but I would rather know what I am doing at this point. Let's say I have 2 plates with matching hole patterns. Pins with a min/max diameter tolerance go through both plates. How do I actually calculate what my...
Let's say I have a large structure that weights 100k pounds that is hung from a simple support at the very center (x,y = 0,0). The CG is offset by a few inches, say (6,2). I need the structure to hang within 1 degree of flat.
This seems like a simple trig problem but I am unsure how to setup...
I am looking to develop hydraulic system schematics in Excel (feel free to suggest other software that can do this!!!). Im not looking for exactly how to do this, but rather different ideas to accomplish the end goal.
I created a basic sketch of what I want to achieve in the program, although...
I am new to NX and Teamcenter but not to .jt files. We used them extensively at my last company for digital mockup and shop assembly.
I have run across several threads were people talk about .jt files being automatically created in Teamcenter. Our system is not setup that way, so I need to...
I am not sure if this is the right forum for this topic, but it seems like a good place to start.
Each product we make gets a 200-300 page Word document describing how to assemble and test it. These are step-by-step instructions with pictures, sign offs, torque tables, warnings, etc.
I am...
