    AB ControlLogix - SetPoint change monitoring?

    A bit of a strange question here... I have achieved what I need through just ladder programming, but I wonder if there is a more elegant solution. My project requires displaying both Liters and Gallons. The setpoints must be able to be input in both Liters and Gallons. But, if I change the...

    Non-Uniform Pressure Load

    So I have a simple rectangular tank. I placed my Pressure load on the inside faces. The non-uniform distribution would be something like this: P = ro * g * h h is the Y+ ro * g is the value I put in to the box. My question is: Units What units does Simulation use when solving this? Based on...

    SW Routing - Tubing, can I get a P&ID from it?

    I was watching a vid online showing some electrical routing in SW and at 1:00 in to the video, he saves his file and selects "Flatten Route" where he can then make a diagram of the electrical ribbon. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HtHGGdanZ-Q&feature=related I am making a route with tubing, but...

    Strange Behaviour?

    I did a "Pack & Go" on my model a few weeks ago in order to generate drawings from an unchanging model. However, now that I am already a few weeks in, I have discovered that it didn't pack everything. When I go to my top level assembly and do a "Find References" it is returning parts and...

    Orienting a twisted part in Drawings

    I have a complex part that I broke up in to several pieces, did a "Save Bodies" and made it in to an assembly for detailing properly in my drawings. However, when doing "Save Bodies" the part shows up with a common origin to the assembly, and it is all disoriented. I have attached one of these...

    Macro - Part.GetTitle in Drawings

    IModelDoc2.GetTitle When issued in drawings, it returns the sheet info: ie. CW201AM - Sheet1 I want to rip just the filename: CW201AM.slddrw -> CW201AM I am making a macro to SaveAs PDF and don't want to have to go back through later and strip out all of the "useless" info. I was thinking...

    Sheet Metal - Jog not Flattening

    I have some sheet metal parts that I made by: Extruding a block Shelling the block Split at the corners Converted to Sheet Metal for each side Jogged the upper part to create a zero clearance flange But when I go to "Flatten" that particular piece, the jog remains. Is there something I am...

    Section Views for Specific Components only?

    I have a quanset with some components inside of it, I would like to show a cut-away section so that I can see the components inside, but I don't want the section to cut through the stuff I have inside. Is there a way to do it without going in to each part and making a "Cut" feature? ie...

    Flyouts flying away

    The flyouts I'm talking about are like those in Weldments, the little grey boxes when you trim/extend: [ Body 1,1: keep ] When I click on one, they all jump to the other side of my model. Then I'm forced to pan around until I find them, and by that point I can't even see which tail goes to...

    Reading a sensor to drive a dimension?

    I have a Kingpin at the front. I have my suspension at the back. Road laws state that you can have an overhang off the back of 0.35*(distance from kingpin to wheelbase) The suspension and kingpin have their dimensions driven by different components. I want to make a plane with the proper offset...

    Broken References

    I had a part (a Chute) that I derived in one of my assemblies. I accidentally grabbed the origin of the assembly when I was sketching so it created a Reference to "Point1@Origin of Assem1." I broke the reference so now the suffix is "-> x" Funny thing about "Assem1" is that it is the default...

    Sub-assemblies unsuppressing themselves

    Since upgrading to 2011 I've been having some gremlins popping up in my top level assembly. I have several configurations for my top level assembly with completely different parts. So the configurations are simply keeping track of suppression state. But it keeps unsuppressing the wrong...

    Design Tables in Assemblies

    I have design tables made for individual subs and parts. The tables work great when I am looking at just the individual parts. But when I want to change the dimension in these tables, I have to find the part in my FeatureManager -> Open Part -> Config -> Edit Design Table Then of course I can't...

    Default Properties and Design Tables

    I want to have SW automatically add properties and a design table to each new part/assembly. (materials, drawnby, description...) I have been googling around trying to find example files for the syntax required. Can someone post their properties.txt and a designtable.xls for what they use?

    FEA in Solidworks

    When I was in school, I took an FEA course for Pro/E because SW was not offered. They taught me all of the calculations that Pro/E was running, how to tweek the mesh etc. So I have very little of that experience in SW. Quick questions: When I do FEA(Static) on a Weldment part, does it just...

    Hide/Show Items greyed everything out

    The other day Solidworks stopped letting me show basically anything in my assemblies. (Sketches, Planes, Axes...) I thought it was "large assembly mode" but that doesn't change it. I attached a small screenshot of the hide/show menu. Additional: I need to make a new sketch that uses some of...
