    Variable Volume Reservoirs

    Thanks for the responses. As far as maintainability, the technicians would need to be trained to deal with a pressurized system vs a traditional open reservoir. It does make field service a little more difficult. These type of devices are not intended to behave the same as a traditional...

    ATF Thermal Conductivity

    Thanks for all the help. I contacted one of our vendors and they were able to provide these values. The table that we received from them show a value of 0.1354 W/mK at 0° C and 0.1248 W/mK at 145° C. It's very linear between those two points.

    Solid Ring Expansion (within Elastic Limit) / Interference fit

    Hi there, To be honest, pressing those two together with 0.016" interference seems excessive to me. You will end with severe galling on the interfering surfaces. Also, judging by the location of the locking shoulders, they will not move very much when pressure is applied as you have the...

    CAM software

    Hey all, We are looking to purchase some CAM software at my workplace. We use solidworks 2007 sp5.1 as our design tool and are bringing some of our manufacturing in house. We've had demos from both Gibbs and MasterCAM. My initial impression is that there is more added value in the base...

    SW 2005 SP5 Exploded View problem

    Shaggy, TO answer your question; yes. All of the inported surfaces are contained within their own individual parts. We did manage to fix the issue by turning off the auto space function. It looks like the auto space funtion was attempting to do what you described above. Thanks

    SW 2006 Open GL issue

    Problem Solved. Thanks for the help. I had to remove a lingering Asus display driver that was only being recognized by SW. Windows was only seeing the FX 4500 and it's driver but SW was latched to this Asus driver. Anyway, uninstalled the conflicting driver and all is well :) Thanks again...

    SW 2006 Open GL issue

    K, I've tried uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers I downloaded from the SW website for the Quadro FX 4500. No luck, same issue. I also downloaded the most recent driver from NVidia's website and for the GPU and came up wit the same result. Oh yeah, SW is open with no files loaded and...

    Machine Config Opinion

    I agree with pietje. The chances of loosing all of your data due to one HD failure is doubled. Be sure to back up to an external source frequently. Alternatively, if your MOBO will support, throw one more high speed HD in and make a RAID 5. This, at least gives you some fault tolerance and...

    New Workstation

    Hi There, You mentioned the use od a RAID 0. I run this set up at home currently. When it's running it is very fast to access data and to write, however given it's name, it is not a true redundant device. Because you run one striped pair of hard disks, half of your data is on one disk and...

    holes series

    If you just use the hole wizard to add a feature into an assembly, you are merely adding it at the assembly level. To re-iterate, you must select the part to edit and turn on the "Edit Part" function. Or, you can pull down the "Insert" menu, scroll down to "Assembly Features" and from there...
