I think I have used it in the past but I am a little rusty so I will run through the tutorials tomorrow in my free time.

I noticed that odd face at the D shaped boss, I can go back and get rid of that based on changing the profile of the swept cut or maybe replace it with a lofted cut.
The sides are supposed to be different, although i will make them the same when i finish playing with it.
What do you mean by...

no that didnt do the trick either.... odd, some of those surface commands dont give good results....

i can try that..... give me a second

thanks, now if i couls just get the filet command to work on the edges of all those raised "guides"...

here is another shot with a more clear rendering:

I got it, by adjusting my lofted cuts, never could figure out the face surfacing....

I just need to trim this face where i have the line here, then i can worry about re-lofting

Ok here is where I am at, some faces deleted and need to "re-loft" them

Im still having trouble with it, I deleted the faces I dont want but I am unsure how to loft the edges back together....

Ok thanks I'm going to play with it in a bit here.

I will look into the surface tool kit, any idea what tool in particular would do the trick?

I have a complex shape on my hands that is giving me trouble, see attached pictures and file:
Here is the picture with explanation:
and the solidworks part file is also attached. I just cant seem to get the right lofted cut, thanks in advance for the help...
As always thanks in advance and...
do you have the formula with KL added?

thanks, i missed that,
so here is what i ran using that tube size I changed things a bit and am using 4 small columns rather than 2 large ones. For this analysis I sketched up the 6 inch tube and associated bracing on which the load would be applied:
force was set at 2500lbs (10000/4...
Its been 6 years since i did any classes on beam/column design so bear with me.
Alro steel doesnt carry HSS it but i think i might have to find it elsewhere......any suggestions?

yes but i simplified it to the loading on one beam.... the beam needs to hold half the weight and not buckle...

So i have a 'c' channel beam as shown here: The beam i used is marked with red
I assumed the whole beam to be of thickness C (.487") in this case.. found my moment of inertia to be Ixx=1.80621in^4
Here is my eulers formula
Fcr = (pi^2 x E x I)/L^2 I used english standard units which i...
Ok, I ran this problem through by hand using eulers formula and stepped up to an 8" beam
Here is my formula
Fcr = (pi^2 x E x I)/L^2 I used english standard units which i think are correct but see if i am correct here:
E for astm a36= 200gpa = 29007547.54psi
I is my moment of inertia in...
