I have calculated the maximum torsional shear stress in a round tube and now wish to check that the material I choose (steel, type to be decided) will not fail. Materials data tables give you the tensile yield stress, or 0.2% proof strength. Is there a rule or formula to convert the tensile...

Thanks Yogi.

Thanks Joerd - problem solved.

Yes i have, but without success.

Thanks for that witchdoc. This works, but my example was simplified: LF 2006 1 0 0 LR 2006 1 0 1 RF 2006 0 1 1 LF 2007 1 0 1 RF 2006 1 0 1 I have around 20 columns of data in...

Suppose I have 3 columns of data. If the value in the first column contains "F" and the value in the second column is "2006" then I want to add the number in the third column to a running total of the numbers in the thrid column that satisfied the criteria. For example: LF 2006 1...

1 and 3 do not intersect or touch each other. I tried knitting 1 to 2 to 3 but this failed. It was then I tried the 2 combinations 1 to 2 and 2 to 3.

I have 3 surfaces where one edge of surfaces 1 and 2 touch, and one edge of surfaces 2 and 3 touch. Solidworks will let me knit surface 1 to 2 and also let me knit 2 to 3. However if I try to knit the already knitted 1 and 2 to 3 or the already knitted 2 and 3 to 1 it will not do it: the final...

Is there a way of getting an external thread to show up on a drawing, just as an internal one does after using 'hole wizard'? Thank you for your help.

I am trying to trim two overlapping surfaces - I trim the first without a problem, but on trying to trim the remaining portion of the second surface get the message 'cannot partition surface, trim tool and target do not intersect'. How can I get round this - as far as I can see they must...

I have a surfaced component - is there a way of converting it to a solid body? Thank you for your help.

Thanks Scott - solved!

Is it possible to perform an extruded cut in Solidworks using a guide profile, as you would with a swept boss? Thank you for your help.

I am trying to trim a surface using a sketch. It works, but the trim projects through all surfaces, not just the one I wish to modify - there is no option to set a direction/depth as in 'cut' with solids. Is there another way? I have tried creating an extruded surface from the sketch, then a...

Thank you Jeff and CorBlimeyLimey - this has worked. David.
