Food for thought. I have seen ethics used in several different contexts, but generally meaning the same things. What is your definition of the word ethics? What rules of thumb to you use to apply ethics?
My definition is: a set of guidelines based on values (personal and professional) that...
To what level does the company you currently work for and/or companies you have worked for in the past adhere to their stated ethical standards?
I have found that the two companies I have worked for adhere to their ethics only when it is convenient and relatively painless. One company was a...
Scott's website is mentioned as "One of the best sites I found" for new tricks in SolidWorks in Desktop Engineering's most recent issue.
Below is the website the article is located.

Congratulations Scott.
Where can I find some general guidelines or a table that gives the different sizes of an expansion joint at different ambient temperatures in an open air concrete structure? I suspect that it will vary with slab thickness, size of structure between joints, type of concrete construction, etc...
Our extruder was bought by another company and closed down the plant that made a set of profiles for us. I am trying to find another source to extrude the following material, but have not had any luck. The material is closed cell polychloroprene (neoprene). The extrusion has one hollow in the...
Is it acceptable to weld 6063-T5 aluminum to 5052-H32? I know that typically the -T5 temper will be reduced to the O condition in the heat affected zone; however, I do not know much about welding different alloys of aluminum together. We are using a MIG welder. I do not currently know what...
I am designing an insulative fire blanket to be used in fire rated conditions for commercial buildings. I will run my design through a transient thermal analysis in ANSYS, but I want to use some transient Heat Transfer equations I can set-up in a spreadsheet to help verify my FEA results. I...
I am looking for a coating to protect aluminum (300 series casting and 6063-T5 extrusion) from corrosion by clorine bleach, ammonia, industrial cleaners, tap water, and bodily fluids. Some coatings I am aware of are hard coat anodize and powder coating.
Any recommendations or suggestions are...
Does anyone have any tips regarding how to constrain and model welds using ANSYS? I am working on a project in which I need to determine the induced thermal stresses in a weld between two dissimilar metals with different coefficients of thermal expansion.
