Hello all,
I have had a very long road on my way to being an engineer. I started out of high school with very little math and ended up getting my associate in CAD. I then decided it just was not enough and worked very hard to make it through all the math classes at night while I worked as a...
Hello all,
I am trying to figure out for a hydro-forming application how much pressure is actually passed through a tube into the tool. Granted if the part we are talking about has lots of varying part shape than things can get complicated very quickly. But if we look at just a straight round...
I will start by saying I am a somewhat experienced CATIA user and have a number of years experience under my belt at this point. However this one has been stumping me for some time now and would really help me with my job if I can figure it out.
So basically what I am trying to due is:
Say we...
I am looking to form a tube. For example lets just say I want to go from a round 60 mm tube to a square shape tube. But in the transition area I want to retain a length of line through the transition... Is there any way to do this besides cutting lots of sections and measuring each one making...
I am just switching over to the CATIA based simulation from Solidworks Simulation. So maybe this is an obvious answer but please bare with me.
I am running a simulation on a hydroforming die. I am running it at ~110MPa of pressure inside the tube and ~45000 ton holding it down. Thats all...
Well I am currently working as a design engineer in the Hydro forming industry. I have been working on my degree in vehicle design right out of highschool. I am 21 now and will be finishing that degree next semester. I now have a better idea what path I want to take but am still a little...
I am working on some simulation and with all my past experience I never really needed constraints and things so this is the first time I have run into this.
For explanation sake lets just say you have two square blocks that are exactly the same size. Now those blocks are sitting one right on...
