    Motor testing advice.

    Hi, I'm in the UK, I should have said that, sorry. re: the DC motor and a thyristor drive - I'm going to need to create a known load so I can chart torque speed curves and record things like starting torque. Would this be easy to set up? cheers CB

    Motor testing advice.

    Hello people, I need to analyse a bunch of AC induction motors from 0.25kw - 2kW. Does anybody know if there is an off-the-shelf Generator device I can hook up to create a load and get some data under different loads? I guess I'm after a brake/generator device of some kind. I've already set...

    Test rig - I/O board.

    Hi, I've been threw in at the deep end. I have a bunch of single phase motors (1kw) to test. I'm looking at putting together a test rig to do a basic life test. Start/Stop cycles to begin with. Can anyone suggest some good I/O board kit that I can hook up to a PC to do this? Only thing I...

    compatibility matrix.

    Thanks a lot Ben. I had a paper copy lying around which went AWOL. On the PTC website search I would either get 0 results or 5000. Cheers Jamie.

    compatibility matrix.

    Hi Proe users, Could one of you kind souls point me in the direction of the Proe/intralink 3.x compatibility matrix ? I've looked all over the PTC site with no luck, the search facility would appear to be useless on this occasion as well. Thanks in advance.

    Colour a table in a drawing ?

    Hello Peeps, Is it possible to colour a column in a table on a drawing in 2001 ? I could sketch a rectangle behind the column and fill/hatch it. That seems a bit 'dirty' though. cheers J

    ADD A PARAMETERS IN A FORMAT

    We use a - (dash) for some editable values in our joint! Spaces can be hard to find if surrounded by lots of other spaces :-)

    Win XP - file protection

    I will answer my own question! After a bit of tinkering I found that any users using a shared machine need to have local admin. rights for that PC XP security gone mad!

    Win XP - file protection

    Hi, I am having a problem with Windows XP and file rights. After installation of pro/I 3.3 & Pro/e 2001, only a network admin. can log in to Intralink. Other users get: "The workspace file C:\Workspace\proi.\Localddb cannot be opened. The specified file may not exist or this may be caused...

    Can't log into intralink

    We have a little batch file that I place in the loadpoint and shortcut to on every users desktop. Basically it - calls the compress command - loads a standard config.pro file. - runs the Intralink launch command. If you've had this problem before it could be wise to put the command in a batch...

    Stupid question about license...

    You could probably take the NIC card from the old PC, put it in the new one and hey presto. The license is usually tied to the NIC card.

    Family table drawing - remove instance?

    Hi, Thanks for the reply mate. I am trying to add an instance to a family table that already has instances filtered out of the drawing somehow. When I go to 'r. region > relations > show' for this table/region there are none, so it must have been done originally without using relations. When...
