We have what I perceive as very large assemblies. I'm wondering at what size you start to have performance issues and any tips that might help managing these large files? We currently are using ST2. Are there any enhancements provided by ST4 regarding large assemblies that would be helpful?
What are the current hot tickets as far as laptops go for running SE? We have some fairly large assemblies that I occasionally have to get in to. Here's some that I've been looking at:
XI PowerGo Duo XT:
4gB DDR2 667MHz PC2-5300
Core2 duo E6750 2.66ghz

Has anyone had experience with piston to valve clearance on a hi-performance gas engine? (ford 302 v8). I know the rule of thumb is .080 intake and .100 exhaust. I've only got .028 on the intake, which I know is not enough. However I want to take the minimum amount of material off the piston...
It was several months ago that I started exploring using Insight for our SE document management. So last I recall we will have to invest in Microsoft Sharepoint and client licenses in order to use SE's Insight. Has there been any new developments since last May in this setup? Where would be a...
What is the advantage of using cold rolled mild steel (round stock) when compared to hot-rolled? Traditionally we've used cold rolled for items like linkages or lightly loaded machined parts; and hot rolled for fabricated parts and weldments. The purchasing guy here says there's no difference...
We have a project where we have some aluminum ducting that will have mild steel support brackets fastened to them with stainless 304 fasteners. Will mild steel facilitate corrosion between these two metals faster than stainless? (The mild steel will be painted with Dupont Imron prior to...
I'm trying to source a clear wood finish, probably a polyurethane, that has excellent UV properties and is electrically non-conductive. The customer is skeptical of off-the-shelf products so I need to convince him that UV protection is on the order of 8-10 years, or close to it. The wood is...
I'm looking for information on calculating how much rotational torque and axial force a pressed fit steel hub on a solid steel shaft can withstand before slipping.
