    Bill of Material of an assembly with Material definition

    Is it possible to view the materials assigned to all parts in an assembly?

    Assembly Constraints blown away

    I have a simple rigid assembly which is constrained and fine. Then one of the sub-assembly objects gets modified, perhaps a chamfer is added on a surface. Then in the top level assembly, whatever constraint was back to that surface gets blown away, it appears the reference name changes when...

    Company with multiple CAGE codes

    When calling out a vendors item in our bill of materials, or on a vendor item drawing, we use CAGE code and their part number. What happens when you look up a company and more than one CAGE code is shown. Does it matter since all you are doing is identifying the company? Thank you

    CATIA V5 and using VB6

    Can anyone tell me if you can use VB6 within CATIA V5? Natively it uses VBA which does not appear to use PropertyBag's. If you can use VB6 within CATIA V5 then how do you do this? Thanks

    Pressure Drop through orifices in a rotating disk

    I have two volumes separated by a rotating disk spinning at ~8000 rpm with five 0.125" dia (0.200" long) holes in it. They are machined in the disc at a diameter of 1.2". I know how to calculate flow with a certain pressure drop through these orifices if they were static, but how do I account...

    Pressure Distribution with a spinning cylinder in stagnant volume

    I have a high speed (30-40,000rpm) 1 inch diameter spinning shaft in a relatively otherwise stagnant volume. I need to know the pressure of the fluid at different distances from the OD of the shaft outwards. I have searched and can only find information about a spinning cylinder in an airflow...

    Ball Bearings running in Aviation Fuels

    Does anyone have any experience with derating ball bearing life for running with aircraft Jet A type fuels as the only source of lubrication (flooded)? Thanks

    Epoxy bond surface finish parameters

    I am looking to increase the bond strength in a current application. Are there particular surface finish parameters that best define surfaces for good bonding? (we currently look only at a minimum Ra). We are using quartz as the blast media. Are there general guidelines for size/shape of the...

    Torque Motor Calibration

    We have setup a dynamic calibration of a torque motor and system. One end of the torque motor has a constant 3 rpm input from an air motor through a gearbox. The other end has a copper wire attached to a 12 lb weight. We record the torque as we raise and lower the weight at a constant speed...

    Tolerance stack-up for multiple components to find interference risk

    I have two components (diameter feature) with a size and a runout tolerance defined on the prints for both features. I also have actual measured data for these features too. My original hope was for these features to run in clearance 100% of the time. Since the 3 sigma actual measured...

    Determination of Material Scoring Limit (Flash Temperature limit)

    There appear to be many different tests for determining wear rates for materials. I am interested in finding the flash temperature limit for scoring(scuffing?) of various materials when localized welding of the 2 surfaces starts and produces 'scratch' indications. Thanks

    Planetary 2:1 Gear Design questions

    I have been tasked with designing a 10000 rpm to 5000 rpm planetary reducer. Output load is about 9 HP. It has to fit inside a 4 inch diameter. Are there any particular pressure angles, diametral pitches to use/avoid? Will this need any lube for short <1 hour running times? How is the...
