    Signing my life away?

    Hi gerhardl, You are right to the point, the quality level has room for improve. New people come regularly,and may not follow procedures. Management doesn't seem to reinforce strict engineering control. Hi IRstuff, The drawings signed and then released to the floor. This is the normal...

    Signing my life away?

    I worked at the current company for about a year, and recently, the schedule manager was changed to a new guy. The new guy asked me to sign each drawing before released to the production floor. Regarding this arrangement, I have some concerns/ reservations on this. The previous schedule manager...

    Trying to turn a sheetmetal shop to machine shop?

    Thanks hendersdc, for your suggestion to work at the floor. After quick interactions with the press braker and the punch team, get info about material thickness variation can be +/- 0.005" or more. That could add up extra dims off on the part too. engmech

    Trying to turn a sheetmetal shop to machine shop?

    Hi all, Recently, I started as a CAD engineer in a sheetmetal fabrication company. In my first week, a QC manager came and asked me to go over future drawings carefully for one particular company. He said if necessary, better to say we can't do it to the company. As they used GD&T...

    Questions on cosmos

    Hi all, Is there any way to create bolt/ connectors in patterns quickly, or copy/paste to designated holes? I have a model has over 30 holes for connectors, & it would be consuming tons of minutes to put them to place. Another question is: what is appropriate setting for my plot results for...

    Questions on mesh generation

    Hi all, I am new to cosmos FEA, & going through tutorial on linear dynamics (randome vibration). Tried the pcb simulation step by step, & it worked out ok. However, when I tried to run the natural frequency analysis of the pc board assy, an error message always came up: Number of element...

    Line thickness print problem - SW2009

    Thanks engd, I already did. It worked. The other side of the coin is to fix the printing of existing drawings. engmechs

    Line thickness print problem - SW2009

    Hi all, My workstation was upgraded from SW2008 to 2009 SP2.0. A few problems encountered & they were fixed. One problem really troubles me and the upgrade changed all line thickness by itself. This caused problem in printing & editing existing/ new drawings. In 2008, it was easy to change it...

    Minus sign on suppressed parts within assy

    Thanks MadMango, for your suggestion. That is certainly one way to get around the problem. One strange thing I noticed: after I got frustated about getting rid of the minus sign. I opened the file afterwards, & found the minus signs were gone! Possibly that is a bug by itself. So far, from what...

    Minus sign on suppressed parts within assy

    Hi all, My supervisor told me to generate a solidworks assy in a certain format - that is to have a multi-configuration assy for presenting it in different stages. However, there is one thing that bugs him - he doesn't like the minus sign (inside the bracket on feature manager tree area) of an...

    Bolt tightening torque for Non steel material

    Hi desertfox, There is no external loading on these parts (ie. stationary state all the time), and they are located inside a big electro-mechanical enclosure. (indoor environment) Regards, engmechs

    Bolt tightening torque for Non steel material

    Hi all, I worked in an electro-mechanical dept, & my coworker asked me about bolt torque rating for various sized bolts. I then showed him what my normal reference chart to him, but he showed me the electrical contactor & fuse flanges are made of Copper/ Nickel type material, which is softer...

    To all, I have an acoustic problem encountered in engineering dept recently, & it is getting hotter each day. A add on designed sheet metal box was developed for telecom industry, which hosted 2 fan units inside. The fans were used for cooling equipments inside the enclosure. The box size is...
