    My ProE run so slow!

    I am looking into getting a new laptop and would like to be able to run ProE on it. right now here is one laptop that i have built and am considering: Its a Toshiba Satellite L350-ST2121 CPU: Intel® Core™2 Duo Processor T8100 (2.1GHz, 3MB L2, 800MHz FSB) Operating System: Genuine Windows...

    welds in pro mechanica

    i need to weld two surfaces together. my problem is that they do not touch. they are about 0.125" away from eachother and when we manufacture them, this space has been left for the weld. Yes, thats kind of a big weld, but we need the full penetration between these two parts, thus the gap has...

    Components & Assemblies cant find each other.

    could you explain a little better with the search_path option and how to load it? im kinda retarded when it comes to programming stuff and the config.pro is a mystery to me. but i work at a company that just recently (2 years ago) got pro e and we have been wanting a way to save everything...

    Joist Design Considerations

    I work for a comapany that is currently under contract to produce a material handling system. We have a working design and prototype of one of our designs. However, in the ever lasting need to make things lighter, we are currently investigating ways of doing so. One way that has come up is to...

    How easy is Pro/E?

    Like Heckler said, I'm still in school for ME, but one of our classes spent half a semester teaching us ProE. Now granted they didnt go into great depth, but from the basics that I learned in that class, I have been able to create some pretty neat parts. There is still much I dont know, but I...

    Mechainca FEM to Normal Analysis

    Im using Wildfire 3.0, and when you have a part open that you would like analyzed and open Mechanica for the first time for that part, it brings up a box asking what kind of analysis and if you want to do a FEM. My co-worker clicked on the FEM box and continued on, now he has changed his mind...

    Center of Gravity

    Im trying to find the center of gravity for my whole model. I have thus far been able to find the CoG within a plane, but that is not what I need. Is there a way to get the X Y and Z coordinates for the CoG of the full 3D model?

    Constraining and Applying Loads in Pro/M

    so i have placed a 'gravity' load on the ucs of the model. (9.81 m/s^2 going down and our acceleration rate of the horiztonal movement). now when i go into the analysis and create a new dynamic analysis, it doesnt give me an option to choose what loads i want to use, only constraints. does...

    Constraining and Applying Loads in Pro/M

    The company I work for is looking to simulate what can be considered a 'shock' load on a plate. What I have is a plate of steel, roughly 12"x12"x1.75" that rolls along a track. the track is not smooth and at certain point (ie intersection) within the track, the plate will drop slightly...

    ProE Model Check help

    I have ProE Wildfire 3 at work and have never used Model Check. What does it do, how do I use it... etc... you know, the basics. Im pretty good with ProE in general, no expert by any means, but would like to know how ModelCheck works
