    Ok Solidworks brain trust pros:

    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...

    I will look into the surface tool kit, any idea what tool in particular would do the trick? As always thanks in advance and if you need ANY automotive engineering or performance advice feel free to email me as I am not on here that often.

    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? As always thanks in advance and if you need ANY automotive engineering or performance advice feel free to email me as I am not on here that often.

    need structural advice

    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...

    need structural advice

    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? As always thanks in advance and if you need ANY automotive engineering or performance advice feel free to email me...

    need structural advice

    yes but i simplified it to the loading on one beam.... the beam needs to hold half the weight and not buckle... As always thanks in advance and if you need ANY automotive engineering or performance advice feel free to email me as I am not on here that often.

    Beam buckling help.

    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...

    need structural advice

    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...
