hello ,
We want to weld a construction designed in SW with a weldrobot.
I did the following thing :
For example i want to weld a u profile on a sheet.
I convert the outline dimensions of the u-profile on the sheetsurface.
Whit a api i can define the begin and endpoint of the sketchlines in...
Hello ,
We want to calculate the stress of a trailer.
How do i simulate the air suspension and wheels and restrains for the kingpin .
It is not a tipping trailer.
We want to do this in cosmosworks. (surface-model)
does anyone have experience with this ?
thanks for your reply
The trailer that we want to calculate, is a trailer with a moving floor ( not a tipping trailer)
At the moment designed in solidworks 2003 (solids)
But they say that the calculatetime will be faster if the trailer is modeled in surfaces.
are u agree ?
Hello ,
I use solidworks 2003 to design the trailer.
The complete trailer , has a chassis and a box (mounted on the chassis)
We want to find the weak places in the trailer.
Is it possible to calculate the stresse on a complete trailer model (in solids)?
Do i convert the trailer into surfaces...
Hello ,
Is it possible to translate solid bodies to surfaces
in SW2003 ?
Or with a add in ?
To calculate a model with cosmosworks2003 it goes much faster with a surface model.
Hello,
Is it possible to delete the custom properties of a part of assemblie without opening the part of assemblie.
For example : outside solidworks for example with VBA ?
Thanks a lot
Hello ,
Does anyone now if there is a free viewer that support
all kind of files ?
solidworks, autocad , office ..... files.
I've found one : Myriad 6.0 but it is a shareware program.
Thanks

i have a question about those enveloppe parts.
if i save a assembly t a part , i have for example 100 mates
reduced to max. 3 mates.
i think that mates also have an impact on load and calculate speed.
*** does enveloppe parts also have 3 mates ? ***
And i also use the lightweight mode .
I am agree that saving a ssemly to a part , i loose the functionality.
But i have also the original assembly in the database.
I only use the converted part in my total model to save speed and memory while loading.
For the BOM i don't want to now the name of the parts in the assembly because...
Hello,
with solidworks 2003 it is possible now to save a assemly
to a part.
I want to use tis to save the assembly who don't change.
so the memory of the part will be the half size of the assembly
and also the mates will be reduced to max 3.
this has to affect the loadspeed.
does anyone have...
Hello TateJ
there are a lot of problems to inset the raw material into
the part as assembly.
did you see my mail that i've send to you?
1. How to make flat patern of an assembly?
Because the raw material is a plate for example
2000*1500*1.5 mm.
This raw material part has to be...
Can someone tell me how i could link the base material of
a part to the partdiscription ?
In our factory we have discussed about 2 possibilities:
First possibility :
I draw a part and add the base material of the part into the property of the part.
for example :
Aloy L - profile : 60x60x6 mm -...
Hello ,
I am a mechanical engineer , and we use smarteam version 4.0
it seems that saving in smarteam takes a lot of time.
does anyone now how i can reduce this?
Also the check in and out times are verry slow.
And it costs a lot of money.
should i be better that i use pdm works ?
thanks...
