    Same here... I deem it's the amount of RAM on your machine.

    ph.d and employment in engineering

    Ooof... first things first... I'm sorry to have been innacurate while expressing myself. When musing the signifficance of a ph.d. in near future, I of course projected it on the popullation in relevant areas, or, more accurately, in Engineering practice / schooling. Not people with Ph.ds in...

    Exporting pipes to .igs, .stp or .3DXML

    Hello all, I'm using Catia v5r16 and doing a thermal plant layout with pipes made in piping design module. When I try to export the model in .igs, .stp or .3dxml, the model translates correctly except all the pipes are gone. Fiddling with .stp options got me to get the pipes in the Tree, but...

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    Interesting points here... I sort of thought that engineers were also human beings and were competent in other fields aside of engineering. I also thought a unique property of a human being was the possibility of learning on other people's experience without seeing it done or trying it...

    ph.d and employment in engineering

    I see the opinion here is that a ph.d. is pretty much either unnecessary or useless in general engineering - unless one wants to do research or teaching... Which is pretty much how I thought about it too. At present, my idea is to start a ph.d. study since I have an opportunity to, and then...

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    Well... In my non-medical opinion, I know quite a few twins, and they all seem to be just fine. Also, some women are genetically predispositioned to have a multiple birth, and it has nothing to do with their age. Just take what nature gives, I think the real question was how to have a career and...

    Naming a New Business

    waytsh, I don't own a company but my parent does. The name is an acronym of what the firm focuses on. While not overly descriptive unless you actually know what it means, it's easy to remember and is actually such that it makes up a word that sounds "technical". I think your lawyer is right in...

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    HgTX, agreed, for medical stuff one should rely on their doctor, not 'net... What's wrong with multiple births? You solve everything at once! [afro2] Then again 2-3 babies crying at ONCE, oh good gods... [morning] [bigsmile]

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    I actually read results of a study that said that childbirth at 36 brings minimum risk of osteoporisis and muscle detherrioration in a woman's body... I read this in a magazine, though, so I can't provide the source. I also read simmilar things indicating that a woman should avoid pregnancy...

    ph.d and employment in engineering

    Thank you all for your replies... What prost said is pretty much what I figured, so I'm not quite sure what to do. My field of interest is modelling in fluid dynamics. Ideally I'd want to do car or aeroplane aerodynamics optimisation, however any simillar work would do (wind / water / gas /...

    ph.d and employment in engineering

    While trying to figure out which direction I should take in my future career, a ph.d study has come up as an interesting alternative. I already have an equivalent of European MS degree (dipl.ing. in my country) and have a good opportunity for a ph.d. study in a field I'm interested in, plus work...

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    I'd also suggest you take notice that most people giving advice here are men. While, by what I see here, it seems they took full responsibility and did their share of taking care of their babies/toddlers etc, they didn't have to go through the physical degradation a woman's body goes through...

    Definition of an Engineer

    I think engineering field has grown too big to make a 1-sentence definition, or anything even remotely close to it. It goes for other professions too. EG, when you say "doctor is a person who heals/cures people", how does this apply to, for instance, plastic surgeons who specialise in beauty...

    Catia V5R16 cannot read AutoCad 2006?!?!?

    To piggyback this thread, I can't seem to open .dxf and .dwg 3D files in Catia. They get "flattened" and opened in Drafting module. Is there a way around this (other than exporting it all to IGES and getting an enormous file in the end)...?

    Definition of an Engineer

    Grr, here's what I meant: I got myself a software called "Language Engineering Dictionary". As I'm not a native English speaker, I thought this was a dictionary of technical English which would be most helpful with my work, as most of the stuff I have to write or read is in English (even though...

    If you weren't an engineer, what would you be?

    epoisses, in my case, no... The question was "If you had to pick another career, what would you choose?". So I'd either choose my childhood dream and be a vet, or I'd choose something inetersting and dynamic as criminal law - unless I'd end up in a looneyhouse during schooling! ;-) BUT... If...

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    Well... I guess firstly you have to clear it out in your head, what you want to do and what you want to be. Maybe your husband's right, maybe you're just restless, maybe he just wants a housewife who'll make him lunch on time, that's what you have to determine... There are two things to mind...

    Catia V5 Newbie

    thixoguy, for your original question use "Heal" or "join" from WF&S and then "Close Surface" from Part Design, that should do the trick. "Heal" will try and sort out the little gaps that come from IGES conversion... sadly, if they stay, then sink into manual repair... :-( Tho there's a trick...

    Question for Parents and Future Parents

    This has been a question that vexed me also... Basically I decided to have no kids, but that's mostly because I'm not really hype on the idea itself, not because of the whole career deal. But I think kids and career do go together - it just depends how big a career you want, and how much time...
