I know others have done this, and has helped. I'm not sure but i think the failure occurred due to lack of oil, but I'd like to check it out and also learn a little about cosmos. What software would give me what I'm after, Ansys? ProE? Tyan Mobo 2xDual Core Opteron 2214 4gb Ram Quadro FX...

Good morning all, I race model planes, and we tune the engines to get the most out of them. I have made some conrods, that have failed, but rather than just beefing them up I thought I'd use works cosmos to see where they need improving. I have never used cosmos, just had a bit of a play...

Ah I see, thats a nice feature in sketch, never used that before. My problem is I dont need a slot for a round ended key, I need a slot for a round key/pin, with spherical ends. So a plane extrude wont produce a form i require. I could revolve a section on the key, but to make more conplex i...

Well thats a pain!! Can you explain your methods? I have only been using SW for around 6 months, I come from a ProE back ground. Tyan Mobo 2xDual Core Opteron 2214 4gb Ram Quadro FX 3500 150gb Raptor Stripe Raid XP Pro x386 SP2

Hello all, When using ProE and i wanted to produce a slot for a spherical ended key, i would sketch a line, and sketch half a ball nose cutter, and ProE would follow the line of the cut and return on the line to produce the round ends. When I try the same on SW 2007 SP4, the swept cut only...

I always used to produce a shaft with multipel dia and different lenghth on Proe with offset datums to get the lenghts to show correct and parametric on the drawing, so from that practice i produce the same on SW 2007 but by using the offset from sketch then run to a depth or thro the component...

I think im gonna have to. Dont like producing a cut with more sketch lines, when a circle will do. Bit of a shame, has anyone found these dims?

Good morning all, I'm fairly new to SW (2007 SP4) I have a back ground of Proe, and like to produce models with dimensions that i can stick straight into the drawing. My problem is when i produce a shaft with different dias, i create it with offset cuts, but these offset dimensions dont...

Whhooooo hooooo CorBlimeyLimey after checking your models and doing a bit of reading I've cracked it. I sketched the path on a plane above the surface, I then projected the curve onto the surface. I then created a plane nornal to the new curve. I sketched the section on the new plane. Next...

I'm very new to surfaces, so I'll have a good look at this part and see how you have built it up. Hope to repeat this on my part. I'll let you know how i get on. Thank you!!

I cant relly post the part as I'm sure the customer wouldn't be happy. Lets say that the surface is a wing/blade form. I imagined sketching the path on the surface and then sketching the profile on a plane created normal to the surface. I have created a 3D spline on the surface, but i...

Hello all. I'm pretty new to SolidWork and so am finding a few difficulties. I have a fixture that has a surface created from the customers part. The fixture uses a vacuum to hold the part to it. I have created pockets for the vacuum, but i need to produce an "O" ring groove to sit around...

Thank you for yor help, very simple really. Cheers Mark

Good evening all, I am in the process of designing an insert type mandrel (My first) and require what I hope is a simple calc. The mandrel had a body Dia OD 60mm, with five inserts. These inserts have a 7 deg angle base which matched to a horizontal wedge plunger with the matching angle. I...

Well thank you all for your help, seems like I'm up the creak with out a paddle. Something we should have checked with our customer. Thanks again.

Ok so essentially there is no way to save a NX4 to an NX2, the customer wants NX2 drawings/parts/Assy to open in their version of NX2. Is this correct?

Thank you for the reply, my guy has tried this and this method losses the drawing ect that have been produced. Is there an after market converter, or additional plugins for NX4? Sorry for my ignorance, I'm a Pro-E man.

Hello all, probably a simple answer, tried to search but it's not working. We have a guy doing some design work, he is working on NX4, our customer requires NX2 files. Can someone guide me thro' the method of "save as" or exporting to NX2. Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello all, I have had a good search around this forum and the net for a solution to my problem. I wish to put individual weights in a table on the assy drawing. My model is in mmNs, and I want the weight in Kg's. I followed this tut...

Thanks for the replys. I'm not concerned about the benifits of XP x64 with relation to Wildfire, only in the respect that it will run, I would require XP x64 for it's other benitits/progs. My main concern is performance improvements with the dual core/twin cpu side, i.e looking at cheaper dual...
