    Wich would you prefer...HP Z600 Xenon E5540@ 2.53 Ghz vs HP Z210 Xeon E3-1240 @3,30 GHz

    Hi guys, I would appreciatie some guidance for a good 2nd hand workstation purely for SW mondeling (modeling is single thread mostly, right?). After some research I would say the E3-1240 is the better choice, do you agree? Thanks and all the best [thumbsup2]

    Non destructive testing (DC or AC)

    Hi Guys, hope you're all well So, in ND testing of cracks in metallic materials most seems to be with (high freq.) AC current powered primary coils and eddy current induced secondary fields (which are probed one way or another). But why is this done with AC since DC is also suitable for...

    Cold work dislocation (interactions)

    Hi guys, I know thtat cold working produces more dislocations that 'impede slip and thus increase strength' but i'm kind of puzzled to what exactly happens in the lattice. In this context I also read about 'forest dislocations' but I'm srugling to get a clear comprehension on this, hope some...

    Thanks Cory [love]

    Current and future trends for the butterfly industry

    I didn't land the job, but due to the helpfull feedback and study on my part I'm better prepared for round 2! thanks and love [love]

    Max service temp. (practical meaning)

    "unless there are some specific area, and specific materials where make this term being a specific meaning, it indicates the max temeprature at which a material can be used in applications/engineering. Strength can be decreased to the extend that it is still meet the spec. For example, suppose a...

    plastic deformations / slip planes

    Hi guys, hope you're all on your game [love] I was wondering why under tensile the shear plane is @45 degrees in regard to the applied load. (is it exactly @45 degrees btw?) Is this because: a)the shear is at max under this orientation or b)because the plane stacking is non-dense at this...

    Max service temp. (practical meaning)

    Thanks arunmrao. The term kind is kind of misleading I think since it sort of implies that properties are stable up to that temp (which clearly is not the case, for instance tensile strenght reduction). Is this directly related to not upsetting the original lattice (previous heat treatments /...

    Polymers vs elastomers?

    Hi guys, hope you're all well. What is the difference between the term "ploymers" and "elastomers"? I'm somewhat confused? [love]

    Max service temp. (practical meaning)

    Hi guys, hope all is dandy. What exactly does "max. service temp" mean for a material? It seems pretty straightforward but I'm not sure. [love]

    Current and future trends for the butterfly industry

    Hi guys, thanks a lot for your pointers. I'm studying these among others in detail. quiztime: - what is meant when they speak of "full lug". Does this mean the lugs are full thickness of the valve? - why is valvestem orientation (vertical / hor.) important in certain situations? [love]

    Current and future trends for the butterfly industry

    Hi guys, hope you're all doing well. I'm sheduled for a sales job in the butterfly sector. Although I do have some rudementary knowledge of butterfly valve's I would like to get a heads up for any new / emerging trends in the bussiness. Will the future be stable for the standard rubber lines...

    Loft & path (exercise in patience)

    New insights.. I will try 'your' point method, since i used to always used the "project geometry" method before. What i've noticed is that the project option would sometimes fail when projecting 'complex' features. (I guess although this sometimes works it does not mean it's the best way to...

    Loft & path (exercise in patience)

    Hi to you all, hope your're all doing well. What 'rules' are there to follow when making guide paths for lofts? Personally i'm having a hard time with these guide paths. Sometimes I get them to work as intendet, other times i simply cannot get them to 'connect' to the section sketches to have...

    Partially interfering mesh with 'no penetration contact', what will happen?

    Greg / Rick, Thank you. In Solidworks Cosmos there is an option shrink fit. Does anyone have experience with this? Would this simply inforce connecting elements regardless the distance betweem the meshes?
