I appreciate the help guys, I didn't realize SolidWorks could actually let you click the dims to use them as references in linking to an equations, this helps alot with some of the more complicated designs I have.
Hey guys I have been working on a nose cone and I found these nice formulas for nose cone designs in Wikipedia which is a real convenience for quick modeling.

Now, the usual way I would design it would be to use Excel to get general values and...
No that helps alot, I was trying the f(x) command to simulate the initial conditions inside the airflow, but never could get the correct mach number and pressure for the B/C with respect to time.
I can do that for the baseline, also I think my question was more relevant to a new thread posted by cadddict

It was more of an issue involving locking the dimensions into place after specifying the location.
Tried, but the features are so close together, that the numbers would overlap each other, this was a way to make the stack without interfering with the dimensions
I noticed there is a Y14.5 and a Y14.5M does the 2009 version include all data from the 1994 version, or will Y14.5 keep referencing y14.5M?
i.e. buy 2 books instead of 1?
Sure, since the last discussion, I was finally able to get it to work the way I wanted, however it was a weird sequence of deleting and clicking locations which eventually got it to keep still without it moving beyond the borders of the...
I am curious about what exactly the limits of Flow Simulation are for SolidWorks. I was working on a thesis (completed and cleared) which was to analyze a scramjet isolator scaled up for 10 and 100 times the cross section. The initial CFD analysis was to simulate M=1.8 airflow entering from a...
I need some help figuring out a technical issue. The point of this exercise is to organize dimensions in a staircase fashion (cascade) so I can fit the dimensions in the drawing without going beyond the borders of the drawing sheet. I have shortened the line pointing to the number for the...
From my experience, having the book is best, as you can always scan your the book and create your own .pdf files from the scans. Then you can make multiple copies of your document.
Ok, yeah I noticed the package had alot of documents. Some of the documents in the package did not seem to be relevant to what I was doing, but it is a good starting point. It was a little frustrating finally getting the book today to find out in the scope that they state:
"It is essential...
I'm trying to continue a previous thread discussing standards for military work.

I'm part of a small company that is doing defense contracting work, as part of my job, I was researching how drafting standards have changed, since I was learning engineering drafting in college...
I found this thread closed and was trying to understand proper standards with regard to ASME Y14.5.

The previous thread mentioned proper labeling with regard to screwholes. However, I am currently at a phase where we have not determined the type of screws we are using and...
