    NX to Inventor (UI)

    As long as your not using Vault. Two weeks is good. I actually went the other way. Inventor 2012 to NX 7.5. (6 years ago I was on NX 2.0 and moved to a company on inventor 11) Be prepared for one thing......Lots of Crashes as compared to NX. Save and Save often. What inventor makes up for...

    Calculating weld stresses from FEA Shell model

    Hi All I am reviewing some documentation from another engineer and am having a tough time finding references to back up the equations/Assumptions. Basically what was done was a shell model was created and von-mises stresses were captured at the plate interfaces. Then the procedure multiplies...

    Inventor vs Solidowrks

    Just because Inventor "Has This" does not mean it is any good. Analysis in inventor is a joke, period. Standard parts library in inventor is Crap. You don't need a Sequal Server to manage Standard components. Here is how Inventor works; Instead of creating a tabled part for say a 1/4-20...

    Inventor vs Solidowrks

    I have used both for about 2 1/2 years each in parallel, and I can break down what I see as the basic differences (Note That I am a UG guy with 8 yrs experience on that package. UG is really my favorite.) Assemblies; Inventor has the edge on SW, Constraints are easier and have less mouse...

    books on stress analysis

    I am going through Cook's book titled "Concepts and Applications of Finite Element Analasys" and am going through the problems on my own. I have hear there is a solutions CD to some of the problems. If anyone knows where I can obtain it please post the URL. Thanks

    Nickle Plating Alternatives

    I have found my solution. I am going to use zinc phosphate spray as a pre-treatment for the tool (including mounting surfaces and holes). Then mask those surfaces before I powder coat. As an alternative I could brushplate the mounting surfaces with Nickel then powdercoat. Also not the Zinc...

    Nickle Plating Alternatives

    Mostly corrosion resistance is what I require. The parts are about 30x24x12 inches I do know about most the alternatives you mentioned (except laser cladding), but what I was also interested in is a drop in cost to convert over to the new alternative. The NiP prices have significantly...

    Nickle Plating Alternatives

    We currently use both electroless and the electrolytic versions of Nickle plating. When I need the consistency I use the electroless so as not to have buildup around corners and holes. The main issue with the zinc (or any other type of plating/coating) I think would be the following...

    Nickle Plating Alternatives

    hi All I am looking for cost effective alternatives to Nickle Plating. I have looking into powder coating, but the variation and control in the coating thickness does not really meet my performance requirements. Are there any other plating operations that are more environmentally "friendly"...

    wear resistance of stainless

    I Need to know if anyone has any background information on how to reduce galling (and friction) on Stainlees Steel adjustment screws. The screw and blocks are M20 x 1 with a thread class equivelent to a 3A/B. I am using a grease on the threads in an attempt from keeping the oxide layer from...
