Thanks. I thought that was the case, but just wanted to be sure.
Do you know if any of the newer versions (Project 2007 or 2010) have added this capability?
I'm currently using MS Project 2002, and one minor annoyance is that the text displayed (in a task sheet, for example) is rather smaller. I would like to zoom it by say 120% or 130% to make easier to read, like you can in other MS Office apps. However, I haven't found where this can be done...
A couple of other things you might try (assuming you haven't already).
1. With the solenoid off (de-energized) try moving the plunger by hand. Do the same with a new one. If it's something mechanical, you may be able to "feel" it by comparing the two.
2. Check the terminal properties of the...
Solid steel core? Well scratch my theory! I guess for a solenoid core losses must not be an issue since it's on for such a short time.
I can't think what else would cause this, at least from a magnetic standpoint, given that it worked well at the start.
Does the core also serve as a bearing...
How is the core constructed? Steel laminations or a soft magnetic composite?
My guess, and assuming the cause is due to the core, is that the insulation layer between laminations is breaking down, allowing eddy currents to circulate. One way to check that is to measure the core temperature...
I know this is an old thread, but in case someone is still following this, one other option to consider is Ansoft Maxwell. That is what I'm currently using, and although it is not without it's warts, it definitely has it's good points.

Just curious, what happened to the Ansys communities that were hosted on the Ansys website? Last time I checked, it said the community forum had been discontinued. It seemed to be pretty active, so I'm surprised by that. Glad this one is still around though.

Thanks for the clarification. It worked. I got v20 installed along side ST.
One other comment I thought I'd pass along (as it might not be obvious to some) is that if you do this with the downloaded version of the software (as I did), you need to *extract* that *.exe file (just like it was a...
Patrick,
Would you mind sharing how you did it? I haven't actually tried this yet, but had the same reaction to Swertel's link (wasn't sure at what point in the process to execute those commands).
Thanks,
Pat K.
I agree that what constitutes the "top" or "front" of a part can be arbitrary. But for a lot of parts there are usually logical choices. If a part has an obvious top and bottom, front and back, I usually try to model it that way (so the top is what shows when in the top view, the front is what...
Does SE provide default captions for common drawing views (eg Front, Top, Right, ISO), or do you have to type these in by hand?
I don't see them, so I'm guessing not, but thought it was worth asking.
Thanks,
Pat
Thanks for all feedback on this. I don't think I was very clear in how I stated my question. I meant how do I set it up so the dimensions keyed in (when creating a rectangle, circle, etc) become driving dimensions and display automatically in the sketch, without having to use Smart Sketch, etc...
Yes, this is where I've been seeing this also. It's where the first point is locked to a keypoint on another sketch entity that things can behave weirdly.
bc - I see what you're saying. The arc will draw from the same side you approach from. What's also interesting is if you move to the...
How do I sketch an entity, like a rectangle or circle, where the dimensions you specify for it when creating it (via the command bar) stay fixed?
When I do this now, with the current default settings, the size changes when alignment constraints are applied. But I just saw an SE video tutorial...
