    Round Tool

    I have a round on a part, of 0.5mm, but when i edit the main extrusion of the part to 10 meters long, the part crashes. the same if i have the part 10 meters long, the smallest round it will let me enter will be 1mm. Is there some setting somewhere i can change? thanks P

    Speed up Heat Transfer

    Can use it and it does improve, but it is not a "vacuum" cool down. We have to keep it at the same pressure, 1 x 10-6 Torr. Convection tru the part to its stand might be a way, but the part is sitting on a quartz plate, so won't get much heat flow thru that? What do you think?

    Speed up Heat Transfer

    There is a jacket on teh chamber, water cooled and it runs through out the process, the partsare heated up to 480C for a time, and then elements are turned off and cooling begins. The radiation between the parts and the wall is not good enough to give a quick cool down, there is a quartz heating...

    Hi, I have a chamber which is in Vacuum, and I have parts that I want to cool down. The problem is the vacuum! The parts are cooling very slow, due to the fact the only heat transfer is radiation. I need to speed up the cooldown? in a controlled mannor. I have to keep the parts in a vacuum until...
