Hi, We are working on creating specifications for hydraulic hoses, particularly in the offroad machine industry. I have found online basic dash id od charts. But, I have to specify the min max ID and min max OD for the hydraulic hoses. I saw on one site, that had the nominal OD as a min and...

Can you upload a picture? If not, a simplified sketch of the system. Without seeing it, a vibration dampener could possibly be installed by making the mounting area more robust. But, I'd have to see the whole picture before possible solution.

I have CREO 4.0. I am doing surfacing. It seems there are some surfacing commands missing. One of those surface commands I cannot find is the N-sided Patch. It's not in the ribbon anywhere. And, I can't find it when I do a search. Any suggestions?

The sheet metal reliefs are meant for those corners where the two flanges meet, so it is weldable. The reason for making the corners different, for some, is that they like welding corners differently. So, you ask one person how they like to weld corners, they like a certain relief. Others...

Thanks!

We are looking to market and sell in Europe. We are using the 2014/68/EU Pressure Directive. We are working on the PED. I am looking for a risk assessment template for the PED. Is there a risk assessment template that aligns with what the EU is looking for, that I can use? If so, where can...

I am looking for a product design risk assessment template. Does anyone know where I can download one, preferably free? Thanks,

Can someone remind me how to calculate a load a flat bar can hold? The material is steel. The dimensions are 1/4" X 3" X 6". Thanks,

What are the pros and cons of using a metal rivnut in a FRP board in the ceiling? I would use that rivnut to screw in a bracket which would hold up a duct.

Here's the flat pattern: It's about .35 at the widest point.

3.0 Those were made through flats. I did use flange function and got this: It's closer to what I'm looking for. But, it's got a little gap in the middle.

I have a sheet metal with multiple flange made by the "Flat" function. I got what I want, but at 45 degree. The issue is I need it at 90 degrees. When I change it to 90 degrees it doesn't look the way I want it. At 45 degrees, it looks like: When I change it to 90 degrees, it looks...

With no experience, and looking for the first engineering job is always the challenge. As CWB1 mentioned, it would have been easier if someone advised you to be an intern while you were in college. I would suggest going into contract engineering. If you have any CAD expertise, be a CAD...

Hi, I was told that getting formal training was not available to me, at the moment. They believed I could learn how to use AnSys FEA on my own. I am thinking, "NOT!!!!!" BUT, I'm giving it the old college try, anyways, to prove to them that it CANNOT be done on my own. I have done simple FEA...

Hi Dave, Hi everyone! I am Richard. I am an industrial/mechanical engineer. I have designed, performed quality, worked a little on the manufacturing floor, helped companies with their documentations, etc. And, I agree with Dave, these forums are good to share expertise and experiences. I...
